Famous quotes containing the words portrayal, dead and/or sea:
“From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“The dead being the majority it is a natural thing that we should have more friends among these than among the living.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“When the sea dries up you can see its depths, but when a person dies you will still not know his mind.”
—Chinese proverb.
