Subtle Person

Famous quotes containing the words subtle and/or person:

“The half-caught smile,
the subtle little sort of differentiating
between the thing that’s said
and that’s said not;
the “have I seen you somewhere else?
forgot? impossible.””

My person degrade & my temper chastise;
And the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame;
And my talents I bury, and dead is my fame.”
