Famous quotes containing the word wears:
“An evil moon bleeds drops of death.
The earth burns brown.
Grass shrivels and dries to a yellowish mass.
Earth wears a dun-colored dress
like an old woman wooing the sun to be her lover,
be her sweetheart and her husband bound in one.”
—Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
“Life is a festival only to the wise. Seen from the nook and chimneyside of prudence, it wears a ragged and dangerous front.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Genius is talent provided with ideals. Genius starves while talent wears purple and fine linen. The man of genius of today will in fifty years’ time be in most cases no more than a man of talent.”
—Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
