Famous quotes containing the word wink:

    “Nor do they trust their tongue alone,
    But speak a language of their own;
    Can read a nod, a shrug, a look,
    Far better than a printed book;
    Convey a libel in a frown,
    And wink a reputation down.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “Stars, hide your fires;
    Let not light see my black and deep desires!
    The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be
    Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “This will make widows wince. But fictive things
    Wink as they will. Wink most when widows wince.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
