A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
Meister Eckhart
A mask of gold hides all deformities.
Thomas Dekker
Abortion and racism are evil twins, born of the same lie. Where racism now hides its face in public, abortion is accomplishing the goals of which racism only once dreamed. Together, abortionists are destroying humanity at large and the black community in particular.
Alveda King
Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that species alone, but it is above all the secret aspect, impenetrable and hidden. Crime hides, and by far the most terrifying things are those which elude us.
Georges Bataille
Death is the ugly fact which Nature has to hide, and she hides it well.
Alexander Smith
Easy mind, light heart. A mind that is too easy hides a heart that is too heavy.
Franz Schubert
Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see.
Rene Magritte
Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.
Homer
He that has light within his own clear breast May sit in the centre, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the mid-day sun; Himself his own dungeon.
John Milton
I like to take these unusual characters and then make them as normal as possible, because we all know that the tragedy and the abnormal always hides itself behind the normal.
Isabelle Huppert
Journalists are accused of being lapdogs when they don't ask the hard questions, but then accused of being rude when they do. Good thing we have tough hides.
Gwen Ifill
Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.
Andre Malraux
Nobody ever seems to want my advice about serious stuff. People will be like: 'Who made that sweater?' Or 'How did you get your hair so straight?' They don't to come to me for the relationship advice or deep stuff. In fact, my little sister actually hides from me.
Lauren Graham
Now that I know how supermarket meat is made, I regard eating it as a somewhat risky proposition. I know how those animals live and what's on their hides when they go to slaughter, so I don't buy industrial meat.
Michael Pollan
One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.
William Hazlitt
Our 1 million members across the country will be watching closely to see if the video game industry hides behind a First Amendment veil in order to exploit children for the sake of corporate profit.
Connie Sellecca
The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves.
John Dryden
The ravaged face in the mirror hides the enchanting youth that is the real me.
Mason Cooley
The sky hides the night behind it, and shelters the people beneath from the horror that lies above.
Paul Bowles
To be selected was an honor, and in respect of the family member chosen to run, families held feasts and gave away prized beaver coats, quilled tobacco bags and buffalo hides.
