Hollow Quotations
I have found that hollow, which even I had relied on for solid. Henry David Thoreau Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. Buddha But if we get to the point where more people do not believe in a God than who do believe in God, we will have a hollow legal system - we will have something without heart. Lee Greenwood A stair not worn hollow by footsteps is, regarded from its own point of view, only a boring something made of wood. Franz Kafka It is not poverty so much as pretense that harasses a ruined man - the struggle between a proud mind and an empty purse - the keeping up of a hollow show that must soon come to an end. Washington Irving |
