Shallow

Famous quotes containing the word shallow:

    What is more hopelessly uninteresting than accomplished liberty? Great swarming, teeming Sydney flowing out into these myriads of bungalows, like shallow waters spreading, undyked. And what then? Nothing. No inner life, no high command, no interest in anything finally.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Trench stinks of shallow buried dead
    Where Tom stands at the periscope,
    Tired out. After nine months he’s shed
    All fear, all faith, all hate, all hope.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    I have perhaps some shallow spirit of judgment,
    But in these nice sharp quillets of the law,
    Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
