Famous quotes containing the words hollow and/or mask:
“In the hollow Lotos land to live and lie reclined
On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Mediocrity is the most effective mask a superior spirit can wear, because to the great majority, which is to say, to the mediocre, it will not suggest a disguise:—and yet it is precisely for their sake that he puts it on—so as not to arouse them, and, indeed, not infrequently to avoid this out of pity and benevolence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
