Drouet had limpid, bright eyes; a fine, chiseled nose; a small,crimson mouth; set in an oval face, framed by a mass of blue-black hair.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
