Famous quotes containing the words styles and, styles and/or honours:
“Can we love our children when they are homely, awkward, unkempt, flaunting the styles and friendships we dont approve of, when they fail to be the best, the brightest, the most accomplished at school or even at home? Can we be there when their world has fallen apart and only we can restore their faith and confidence in life?”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk.”
—Charles Dickens (18121870)
“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles raisd by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.
Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
How very mean a things a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turnd to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
