Famous quotes containing the words warren and/or parry:

    The doctor will take you now. He is burly and clean;
    Listening, like lover or worshiper, bends at your heart.
    —Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)

    Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
