Famous quotes containing the words face and/or milk:
“I saw my lady weep,
And Sorrow proud to be advanced so
In those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
Her face was full of woe;
But such a woe, believe me, as wins more hearts
Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts.”
—Unknown. I Saw My Lady Weep (l. 1–6)
“Things are seldom what they seem,
Skim milk masquerades as cream.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
