Showing Hand

Famous quotes containing the words showing and/or hand:

“They mustn’t know my despair, I can’t let them see the wounds which they have caused, I couldn’t bear their sympathy and their kind-hearted jokes, it would only make me want to scream all the more. If I talk, everyone thinks I’m showing off; when I’m silent they think I’m ridiculous; rude if I answer, sly if I get a good idea, lazy if I’m tired, selfish if I eat a mouthful more than I should, stupid, cowardly, crafty, etc. etc.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)

“ah! the uplifted sword
Of his hand again my bosom! and oh, the broad
Blade of his glance that asks me to applaud
His coming!”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
