And the touch of her own mask, at first cool and clammy leather, but quickly like a second skin, and the play it gives her, herself a stage, her every breath a performance, and yet (herein lies the magic) also and entirely true. Every game, every lie flirting and cruel - and the house is full of them, games and lies - is real as knives, for the masquerade has come to define the night. The false face of everyday, that hides reality beneath flesh and skin, is itself hidden beneath the fantasy that, because it is a product and reflection of the mind, is an honest facade. Sadie has lived a wary, defensive life, always urged by that self-preserving instinct to stay small, hidden, safe. She did not know she had an imp inside her until she wore it on her face.

("One Of The Hungry Ones") ~ Holly Phillips
Facade quotes by Holly Phillips
I find the greatest songs in the world come out of pain, and I don't like it! Here's what it does: It strips away all of your facade. It makes you so honest. It's cleansing. ~ Lionel Richie
Facade quotes by Lionel Richie
She had always maintained a cynical facade, using it as a defence against embarrassment, fear, loneliness ... but at the moment she felt unusually vulnerable. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Facade quotes by Lisa Kleypas
It is so obvious when a person is not hiding behind a facade but is speaking from deep within himself. ~ Carl R. Rogers
Facade quotes by Carl R. Rogers
Cort Lindahl discovered that the Great Pyramid [points to] Mecca and wrote about it in his books. And I hereby shed more light onto that by revealing that it even points to almost the same direction which the Black Stone points at! The Black Stone is located at the Kaaba's eastern corner; the corner from which the rotation of the pilgrimage around the Kaaba starts. It is as if the facade in front of the low wall of the Kaaba were pointing to the Great Pyramid's direction, or more accurately, the Great Pyramid does indeed point at the exact direction by which the Kaaba was mounted. ~ Ibrahim Ibrahim
Facade quotes by Ibrahim Ibrahim
Romantic lovers require from each other at least the facade of reason: We desire to be what romantic love makes us appear in the other's eyes. We want to imagine we are deserving of the love we inspire. ~ Maggie Gallagher
Facade quotes by Maggie Gallagher
Someone loved this girl, this utterly useless girl, loved her enough to go on wooing her, even though she was being paraded before all of Europe for takers. A moment of stark despair descended upon her that she would never know such love, that she would go through life sustained only by her facade of invincibility. Then she came to her senses. Love was for fools. Gigi Rowland was many things, but she was never a fool. ~ Sherry Thomas
Facade quotes by Sherry Thomas
Even though photographers are only shooting the outside, beauty is more about who you are as a person - the life you lead - not your facade. ~ Nigel Barker
Facade quotes by Nigel Barker
Hands quivering, she reached toward him. "Don't." He turned his back to her, facing the door. That word had stopped her once before. But not now. Not now that she had glimpsed through the funeral front of Varen's own eternal Grim Facade. Despite all the dark armor, the kohl eye liner, the black boots and chains, she saw him clearly now. She peered through the curtain of that cruel calmness, through the death stare and the vampire sentiments and angst and, behind it all, had found true beauty. ~ Kelly Creagh
Facade quotes by Kelly Creagh
Across the intersection he could see the crumbling blue-green facade of the Palace Amusements building, the grinning ten-foot-high face on its north wall smiling out on empty streets and vacant lots. The arcade entrances were covered with plywood; broken neon tubing hung from the walls. He thought of the hours he had spent there as a kid, playing pinball, firing the real .22s in the shooting gallery, riding the bumper cars. It hurt to look at it now. ~ Wallace Stroby
Facade quotes by Wallace Stroby
One of the hallmarks of happiness is having close, meaningful connections with others. But keeping up a facade of having it all together keeps us isolated, because it keeps us from forging real, honest, deep relationships where we can fully be ourselves and feel accepted exactly as we are. ~ Reshma Saujani
Facade quotes by Reshma Saujani
I think it's a facade - like a puppet show, you know? We can only see what's going on above the curtain. But with the halo on, it's like the curtains have been removed and there's a whole world of activity behind them. It makes me wonder if the world I thought I knew would even be possible without the Celestial ~ Shannon Dittemore
Facade quotes by Shannon Dittemore
Our smaller stories are constructed along the plot lines of control and gratification. Once we begin to live by this false self, Satan and his minions sabotage the story to make sure we are exposed. Then he mocks us for our foolishness and hypocrisy for hiding behind such a facade in the first place. Other times, he simply leaves us to die in costume. ~ John Eldredge
Facade quotes by John Eldredge
Because sometimes people who seem good
end up being not as good as you might have hoped. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Facade quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
His hair was mussed, and his teeth were very white in his swarthy, dust-streaked face. With his autocratic facade stripped away, and his eyes sparkling with enjoyment, his grin was so unexpectedly engaging that Lillian experienced a curious melting sensation inside. Hanging over him, she felt her own lips curving in a reluctant smile. A loose lock of her hair dangled free of its tether, sliding silkily over his jaw.
"What's a trebuchet?" she asked.
"A catapult. I have a friend who has a keen interest in medieval weaponry. He…" Westcliff hesitated, a new tension seeming to spread through his taut body as he lay beneath her. "He recently built a trebuchet using an ancient design…and enlisted me to help fire it…"
Lillian was entertained by the idea that the normally reserved Westcliff was capable of such boyish antics. Realizing that she was straddling him, she colored and began to wriggle off him. "Your aim was off?" she asked, striving to sound casual.
"The owner of the stone wall we demolished seemed to think so." The earl caught his breath sharply as her body slid away from his, and remained sitting on the ground even after she had gotten to her feet. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Facade quotes by Lisa Kleypas
All too often people pretend to be professional. "Professionalism" is sometimes a facade for fraud. Be pro, but be real. Honesty and transparency combined with character, competence and real results is the key to being a true pro. ~ Richie Norton
Facade quotes by Richie Norton
I find it difficult to believe that Redditors don't understand that anonymity online is merely a facade; indeed, it's probably one of the reasons that revealing the identity of pseudonymous Redditors is looked on as such a huge betrayal. ~ John Scalzi
Facade quotes by John Scalzi
It is difficult to believe in the dreadful but quiet war lurking just below the serene facade of nature. ~ Charles Darwin
Facade quotes by Charles Darwin
If the Queen can reject the advice of a minister on a little thing like a postage stamp, what would happen if she rejected the advice of the Prime Minister on a major matter? If the Crown personally can reject advice, then, of course, the whole democratic facade turns out to be false ~ Tony Benn
Facade quotes by Tony Benn
And if it happened to be a Christmas-night when the great bell seemed to rattle in its throat as it called the faithful to the midnight mass, there was such an indescribable air of life spread over the sombre facade that the great door-way looked as if it were swallowing the entire crowd, and the rose-window staring at them. ~ Victor Hugo
Facade quotes by Victor Hugo
Kane kept his cool, letting all those long-standing walls drop into place as he walked through the restaurant. His outward calm showed nothing of the panic raging through his mind. The only clue he gave that something might be wrong was when he bypassed his waitstaff, not listening or answering one of their questions as he made a beeline directly to the kitchen. His pleasant facade was nothing more than his body's natural defense mechanism kicking into place. Calm, cool, and collected were always what he projected to the world when his heart and mind raced completely out of control. And dear Lord did the greeting with Avery Adams, aka table thirty-four, seriously qualify as one hell of a stressful situation. ~ Kindle Alexander
Facade quotes by Kindle Alexander
I walk the sand alone,
and feel it stirring as I roam,
upon this breathing earth,
where wave on wave begins new birth.
I sense a grand facade,
where colors paint the hand of God.
And in remorseful pain,
I dance the stones of bitter strain. ~ Craig Froman
Facade quotes by Craig Froman
I start to feel like I can't maintain the facade any longer, that I may just start to show through. And I wish I knew what was wrong. Maybe something about how stupid my whole life is. ~ Elizabeth Wurtzel
Facade quotes by Elizabeth Wurtzel
To cover the fact that a central bank is merely a cartel which has been legalized, its proponents had to lay down a thick smoke screen of technical jargon focusing always on how it would supposedly benefit commerce, the public, and the nation ... there was not the slightest glimmer that underneath it all, was a master plan which was designed from top to bottom to serve private interests at the expense of the public ... the system is merely a cartel with a government facade. ~ G. Edward Griffin
Facade quotes by G. Edward Griffin
If politics is like show business, then the idea is not to pursue excellence, clarity or honesty but to appear as if you are, which is another matter altogether. ~ Neil Postman
Facade quotes by Neil Postman
I've always wanted to be a brooding, deep, dark artist, but I can never keep that facade going for more than 15 minutes. ~ Bryan Callen
Facade quotes by Bryan Callen
Stunned, I sat down on the bed, reading the message over and over again, convinced I had misunderstood it in some way. I couldn't believe that Jack would have written something so cruel or been so cutting. He had never spoken to me in such a way before, he had never even raised his voice to me. I felt as if I'd been slapped in the face. Surely I deserved some explanation and, at the very least, an apology? I needed to talk to someone, badly, so it was sobering to realise there was no one I could call. My parents and I didn't have the sort of relationship that would allow me to sob down the phone that he had left me by myself and for some reason I felt too ashamed to tell any of my friends. Where had the perfect gentleman I'd thought him to be gone? Had it all been a facade, had he covered his true self with a cloak of geniality and good humour to impress me? ~ B.A. Paris
Facade quotes by B.A. Paris
If you wanna capture me,
capture me wretched,
that's the real me.
My brokenness
is my beauty.
My smile is
a brief facade. ~ Apoorva Prajapati
Facade quotes by Apoorva Prajapati
He's opening a door, but he already knows I won't walk through. The power of Bodee is in the way he reads me, sees through me, and then understands the truth behind the facade. He's the guy who can walk straight through the House of Mirrors on the first try. It's almost annoying. No one should ride tragedy like a pro surfer while I drown. ~ Courtney C. Stevens
Facade quotes by Courtney C. Stevens
Optimal Tower is a skyscraper unlike its predecessors, rising skyward as an artistic endeavor, spirited and soulful, with a steel and glass manifestation reminiscent of Claude Monet's water lilies, and instantly dismissive of the gray, steel and mortar structures of the past. The architects and builders have pilfered Monet's color pallet and painted this vertical stretch of the Cavanaugh skyline with the delicate greens and blues and grays and yellows of Giverny. Somehow, in the structure, the sensibility of an impressionist painting emerges as the muted colors are faded in splotches and sunlit in others, with gradual transitions as subtle as the delicate brush strokes of the master himself. Steel beams crisscross haphazardly throughout the towering facade, which only reinforces its intrinsic impressionistic essence by emulating the natural randomness of the lily pond. Atop the structure, a simple fifty foot spire seems to rein in the freeform work beneath it as it merges the natural splendor into one straight pinnacle skyward. This one hundred and fifteen story building reaches twenty-five stories above its surroundings, creating a gloriously artful and peaked skyline not unlike the Alps in France that will be instantly recognizable the world over and cause onlookers to gasp and utter, "C'est Magnifique. ~ Michael Bowe
Facade quotes by Michael  Bowe
Do we loathe our masters behind a facade of love - or do we love them behind a facade of loathing? ~ Aravind Adiga
Facade quotes by Aravind Adiga
Fascism is the result of the collapse of Europe's spiritual and social order catastrophes broke through the everyday routine which makes men accept existing forms, institutions and
tenets as unalterable natural laws. They suddenly exposed the vacuum behind the facade of society. ~ Peter Drucker
Facade quotes by Peter Drucker
The cruel truth exposes the ugly side of us so deeply that we find solace in the last defence hiding behind the facade of our insanity. ~ BinYamin Gulzar
Facade quotes by BinYamin Gulzar
Symbolism erects a facade of respectability to hide the indecency of dreams. ~ Mason Cooley
Facade quotes by Mason Cooley
How many more of us are faking the facade? How many more of us are pretending to be something we're not? Even better, how many of us will have the courage to be ourselves regardless of what others think? ~ Katie McGarry
Facade quotes by Katie McGarry
Wagging tongues from prejudiced, sophisticated facade of show-off people can never blemish any honest, genuine, golden heart. ~ Angelica Hopes
Facade quotes by Angelica Hopes
I struggle to maintain a facade of only mild interest in him. ~ Emery Lord
Facade quotes by Emery Lord
This wasn't the first time she saw past his facade. It probably wouldn't be the last. Yet the intimacy of having this woman know him so damn well was unnervingly welcome. ~ Kelly Moran
Facade quotes by Kelly Moran
I don't want to be swallowed by the darkness. Nor do I want to be blinded by the beautiful facade. No, I want to be part of a people who see the darkness, know it's real, and then, then, then, light a candle anyway. And hold that candle up against the wind and pass along our light wherever it's needed from our own homes to the halls of legislation to the church pulpit to the kitchens of the world. ~ Sarah Bessey
Facade quotes by Sarah Bessey
Your silences remain; they are your biggest mask. ~ Sreesha Divakaran
Facade quotes by Sreesha Divakaran
And we're going out.

Kill me.

'Got everything?' Mom asks, her voice all sing-songy. We're acting normal. A short-lived facade when I open my bag and Operation Check Contents begins.

1. Phone to call for help if we have a car crash/get mugged/drive into the path of a tornado

2. Headphones to drown out the sound of people if we get caught in a crowd

3. Bottle of water for if we break down and get stranded in the middle of nowhere

4. Another bottle of water in case that other bottle leaks or evaporates

5. Tissues for nosebleeds, sneezing, crying, and/or drooling

6. Sanitizer to kill the germs you can catch from touching anything

7. Paper bag to breathe into or throw up in

8. Band-Aids and alcohol wipes in case open wounds should occur

9. Inhaler (I grew out of asthma when I was twelve, but you can't be too careful when it comes to breathing)

10. A piece of string that serves no purpose but it's been here since for ever and I'm afraid the world will implode if I don't have it

11. A pair of nail scissors for any one of a trillion reasons, most of which conclude with me being kidnapped

12. And, finally, chewing gum to take away the sour taste I always get when the panic hits

Normal takes a nosedive into my bag, sinks beneath the copious amount of clutter, and dies a slow, painful death. ~ Louise Gornall
Facade quotes by Louise Gornall
Underneath our nice, friendly facades there is great unease. If I were to scratch below the surface of anyone I would find fear, pain, and anxiety running amok. We all have ways to cover them up. We overeat, over-drink, overwork; we watch too much television. ~ Joko Beck
Facade quotes by Joko Beck
When did creating a flawless facade become a more vital goal than learning to love the person who lives inside your skin? ~ Ellen Hopkins
Facade quotes by Ellen Hopkins
I know no one is perfect, that behind every facade of perfection is a writhing mess of subterfuge and secret sorrows ... but even taking that into account, Noah was pretty much perfect. ~ Maureen Johnson
Facade quotes by Maureen Johnson
Not a facade of cockiness to hide deeper insecurities, but a true self-belief and measured evaluation of what she could and could not accomplish. ~ R.A. Salvatore
Facade quotes by R.A. Salvatore
After you've seen behind the facade of a stage set you can't take the play seriously any more. You can't go backwards and regain your ignorance; you have to move forward. ~ Zeena Schreck
Facade quotes by Zeena Schreck
Individual talent is an obstruction principally among teams that employ the facade of a synergy to diminish the majorities mediocrity. ~ Anthony Corlisatra
Facade quotes by Anthony Corlisatra
Sometimes we get a little bit of a facade. We think we have people. Family, friends ... but in the end, it's just you and the darkness. Everyone leaves eventually, my young friend. It's better, really, to learn early. This way, you can save yourself some disappointment. ~ Morgan Matson
Facade quotes by Morgan Matson
Interviews seem like such artificial situations, everyone on their best behavior trying desperately to hide behind a professional facade. Did my face fit? I shall have to wait and see. ~ E.L. James
Facade quotes by E.L. James
Civility and political correctness, contrary to the thinking of many, are not the same. Civility constrains behavior and words based on genuine caring about others, while political correctness is only a facade of caring while hoping to cultivate public approval. ~ Ben Carson
Facade quotes by Ben Carson
It only took a couple of terms at the University of Sunderland before I understood that once you strip away a town's facade, they're all the same underneath. ~ John Marrs
Facade quotes by John Marrs
All great experience has a guarded entrance and a windowless facade. ~ Robert Grudin
Facade quotes by Robert Grudin
Authority, when first detecting chaos at its heels, will entertain the vilest schemes to save its orderly facade. ~ Alan Moore
Facade quotes by Alan Moore
They projected an illusion of warmth with their home-cooking and hand-stitched quilts, yet underneath the facade was an institutional rigidity, as if they were running an orphanage where children would be fed and cared for but never loved. Love was such a key ingredient in molding humans, yet it was inaccessible to kids inside of the system. ~ Renee Carlino
Facade quotes by Renee Carlino
Like the sun's rays that cause the seed to stir within its husk, love's radiant energy penetrates the facade of the false self, calling forth resources hidden deep within us. Its warmth wakes up the life inside us, making us want to uncurl, to give birth, to grow and reach for the light. It calls on us to break out of our shell, the personality-husk surrounding the seed potential of all that we could be. The purpose of a seed husk is to protect the tender life within until the time and conditions are right for it to burst forth. Our personality structure serves a similar function. It provides a semblance of security, as a kind of compensation for the loss of our larger being. But when love's warming rays start to wake us up, our ego-shell becomes a barrier restricting our expansion. As the germ of life swells within us, we feel our imprisonment more acutely.....The brighter love's radiance, the darker the shadows we encounter; the more we feel life stirring within us, the more we also feel our dead spots; the more conscious we become, the more clearly we see where we remain unconscious. None of this need dishearten us. For in facing our darkness, we bring to light forgotten parts of our being. In recognizing exactly where we have been unconscious, we become more conscious. And in seeing and feeling the ways we've gone dead, we start to revive and kindle our desire to live more expansively. ~ John Welwood
Facade quotes by John Welwood
Of course this chattering diary is a facade, the literary equivalent of the everyday smiling face which hides the inward ravages of jealousy, remorse, fear and the consciousness of irretrievable moral failure. Yet such pretenses are not only consolations but may even be productive of a little ersatz courage. ~ Iris Murdoch
Facade quotes by Iris Murdoch
Pride is like a facade on the exterior of our souls. ~ Jenni Catron
Facade quotes by Jenni Catron
Our culture's quest to hide death behind a facade of denial has made fools and pretended immortals of us all. Perhaps it would be more helpful and liberating to begin each day by repeating the words of Crazy Horse, Today is a good day to die. ~ Richard Paul Evans
Facade quotes by Richard Paul Evans
Every city is a ghost.
New buildings rise upon the bones of the old so that each shiny steel bean, each tower of brick carries within it the memories of what has gone before, an architectural haunting. Sometimes you can catch a glimpse of these former incarnations in the awkward angle of a street or filigreed gate, an old oak door peeking out from a new facade, the plaque commemorating the spot that was once a battleground, which became a saloon and is now a park. ~ Libba Bray
Facade quotes by Libba Bray
I was like a chocolate in a box, looking well behaved and perfect in place, all the while harboring a secret center. ~ Deb Caletti
Facade quotes by Deb Caletti
When I paint, I seriously consider the public presence of a person - the surface facade. I am less concerned with how people look when they wake up or how they act at home. A person's public presence reflects his own efforts at image development. ~ LeRoy Neiman
Facade quotes by LeRoy Neiman
60 days of hyper delirium. 60 days of insatiable pain and we are, where we were! . The cruel fact is that the truth exposes the ugly side of us so deeply, that we find solace in the last defence hiding behind the carefree facade of this never-ending insanity. ~ BinYamin Gulzar
Facade quotes by BinYamin Gulzar
All men are bastards. Some are obvious bastards. Some are covert bastards. The ones who appear to be bastards are safer as you know what you are dealing with. The men who hide behind a facade of manners and politeness are the coldest of bastards'. ~ Reham Khan
Facade quotes by Reham Khan
It has been aptly said that all Egypt is but the facade of an immense sepulcher. ~ Amelia B. Edwards
Facade quotes by Amelia B. Edwards
I confront the city with my body; my legs measure the length of the arcade and the width of the square; my gaze unconsciously projects my body onto the facade of the cathedral, where it roams over the mouldings and contours, sensing the size of recesses and projections; my body weight meets the mass of the cathedral door, and my hand grasps the door pull as I enter the dark void behind. I experience myself in the city, and the city exists through my embodied experience. The city and my body supplement and define each other. I dwell in the city and the city dwells in me. ~ Juhani Pallasmaa
Facade quotes by Juhani Pallasmaa
He was the monster that no one thought to look for in the light of day. It was a common mistake. People often believed they were safer in the light, thinking monsters only came out at night. But safety - like light - is a facade. Underneath, the whole world is drenched in darkness. ~ C.J. Roberts
Facade quotes by C.J. Roberts
The world is, for the most part, a collective madhouse, and practically everyone, however "normal" his facade, is faking sanity. ~ John Astin
Facade quotes by John Astin
Pierce through the livid face of a human being at certain moments as they ponder, look behind the facade, look into the soul, look into the darkness. There, beneath the outer silence, titanic struggles are taking place. What a somber thing is this infinity that each man carries within him and against which he measures in despair what his his brain wants and what his life puts into action! ~ Victor Hugo
Facade quotes by Victor Hugo
​Till mirrors were Invented, Face was not You, Not Even part of Your Performance. ~ Vineet Raj Kapoor
Facade quotes by Vineet Raj Kapoor
She didn't know what to say to this, or how to tell him she wasn't strong, the patina of her resolve was made of soft metal. She wasn't strong, but had become good at pretending – so good that only she knew it. She had developed a chameleon's skin; she could change colour hide behind a false facade. She wasn't made of steel. She still sometimes slept with a light on, and still sometimes heard a small child crying. ~ Charlie Laidlaw
Facade quotes by Charlie Laidlaw
There was a difference between quality and mere showiness, he thought. That notion was reinforced immediately by the appearance of Lady Aline.
She was dazzling, with strands of white pearls in her lustrous dark hair, her voluptuous body wrapped in a blue dress that molded tightly over the swell of her breasts. A double circlet of fresh white rosebuds was wrapped around one of her gloved wrists. Extending her hands in welcome, she went to a group of guests near the door of the ballroom. Her smile was a flash of magic. As he watched her, McKenna noticed something about her that had not registered during their earlier meeting... she walked differently than he remembered. Instead of exhibiting the impetuous grace she had possessed as a girl, Aline now moved with the leisurely deliberateness of a swan gliding across a still pond.
Aline's entrance attracted many gazes, and it was obvious that McKenna was not the only man who appreciated her sparkling allure. No matter how tranquil her facade, there was no concealing the luminous sensuality beneath. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Facade quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Her concern punctures through the hard facade I've been building brick by brick. ~ Isabel Sterling
Facade quotes by Isabel Sterling
So odd. Most women of his acquaintance relied on physical beauty and charm to mask their less-pleasant traits. This girl did the opposite, hiding everything interesting about herself behind a prim, plain facade.
What other surprises was she concealing? ~ Tessa Dare
Facade quotes by Tessa Dare
The cracking of old and famous structures is slow and internal, while the facade holds. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Facade quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
So it seems as though this part of us that is living a life on Earth is only a small piece or splinter of a much larger us. That we are many rather than one, or rather pieces of a more complex whole. We are only able to focus on the splinter we perceive as our totality. That is a good thing, because if we were aware of the complexity of it we would not be able to function in this world or reality. We are only able to see the facade that masks a much larger picture. Only now are we being allowed to peek behind the veil. ~ Dolores Cannon
Facade quotes by Dolores Cannon
Myth is history in a masquerade costume. Peel away the fantastical facade, and you will always find a core of truth." Adrien Morel ~ Louisa Burton
Facade quotes by Louisa Burton
Only you should decide for you what is perfect. ~ Ellen Hopkins
Facade quotes by Ellen Hopkins
I love you," she said. "You made me fall in love with you. I don't care how tall you are or what color your hair is-I care about you. You make me laugh. You're smart. You're gentle. And you're real, you're a real person, not some jock with a facade that's going to fall apart when I get to know him. I know you already, and I love you, you idiot. I don't care what you do with toilet paper. ~ L.J.Smith
Facade quotes by L.J.Smith
When all is a facade, wound within webs of deception, the truth is what you make of it. ~ R.A. Salvatore
Facade quotes by R.A. Salvatore
He was "distinguished" to the tips of his polished nails, and there was not a movement of his fine perpendicular person that was not noble and majestic. Newman had never yet been confronted with such an incarnation of the art of taking oneself seriously; he felt a sort of impulse to step backward, as you do to get a view of a great facade. ~ Henry James
Facade quotes by Henry James
Russian Dolls: The more we stay layered up, the more we stay reactive. Instead of healing, our hardnesses bump into one another. We knock each other off balance, intentionally or not. That might sometimes peel away a little paint, making a crack in an outer façade. But those cracks allow light and insights in. And out. ~ Helen S. Rosenau
Facade quotes by Helen S. Rosenau
Will you let me go for Christ's sake? Will you take that phony dream and burn it before something happens? ~ Arthur Miller
Facade quotes by Arthur Miller
The National Liberation Front was not ... a viable, autonomous organization with a life of its own; it was a facade, a "front," by means of which the DLD (the North Vietnamese Communist Party) sought to mobilize the people in the South to accomplish its ends, and to garner international sympathy and support. ~ George Allen
Facade quotes by George Allen
Eli Campbell, managing partner of Chambers and White, walked into the break room carrying an empty mug. Partners seldom entered the room, but Eli was the exception. He practiced "management by wandering around." Chatting with the staff while pouring his own coffee or biting into a hot Krispy Kreme doughnut gave him an insight that none of the other partners had. Unlike the other partners, he was friendly, outgoing, and approachable when in the office. But, that was a practiced facade. ~ Tom Collins
Facade quotes by Tom Collins
Do not make the mistake of believing that he does not love you because he plays at not caring. ~ Cassandra Clare
Facade quotes by Cassandra Clare
Lucille certainly picked a fine time to leave us, didn't he? I just wish our only problem was four hungry children and a crop in the field. (Danger)

You know, your sarcasm isn't helping anymore than your bizarre and scattered references to literature and bad country songs. (Alexion)

Not true, it's helping me maintain a calm facade that I most definitely do not feel. (Danger)

Well, it's starting to piss me off. (Alexion)

Ooo, you almost scare me when you say that. ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Facade quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
New Orleans, though beautiful and desperately alive, was desperately fragile. There was something forever savage and primitive there. Something that threatened the exotic and sophisticated life both from within and without. Not an inch of those wooden streets nor a brick of the crowded Spanish houses had not been bought from the fierce wilderness that forever surrounded the city, ready to engulf it. Hurricanes, floods, fevers, the plague, and the damp of the Louisiana climate itself worked tirelessly on every hewn plank or stone facade, so that New Orleans seemed at all times like a dream in the imagination of her striving populace, a dream held intact at every second by a tenacious though unconscious collective will. ~ Anne Rice
Facade quotes by Anne Rice
You see through the facade of the world, Citra Terranova. You'd make a good scythe." Citra recoiled.
"I'd never want to be one."
"That", he said, "is the first requirement. ~ Neal Shusterman
Facade quotes by Neal Shusterman
Google sells network surveillance and collective intelligence. This is Google's actual, profitable, monetisable product. "Search" is merely Google's front end, a brilliant facade to encourage free interaction by the public. People are not Google's "customers" or even Google's "users", but its feudal livestock. ~ Bruce Sterling
Facade quotes by Bruce Sterling
The weakness of men is the facade of strength; the strength of women is the facade of weakness. ~ Warren Farrell
Facade quotes by Warren Farrell
I am an urchin, standing in the cold, elbowed aside by the glossy rich visitors in their fur coats and ostentatious jewellery, being fussed into the hotel by pompous-looking doormen.
'No problem. I'd better get home, actually Mr – Gustav. A drink is very tempting, but maybe not such a good idea after all.' I pat my pockets. 'And I'm skint.'
'Pavements not paved with gold yet, eh?' He moves on along the facade of the grand hotel to the corner, and waits. He's staring not back at me but down St James Street. I wage a little war with myself. He's a stranger, remember.
The newspaper headlines, exaggerated by the time they reach the office of Jake's local rag: Country girl from the sticks raped and murdered in London by suave conman.
Even Poppy would be wagging her metaphorical finger at me by now. Blaming herself for not being there, looking out for me. But we're out in public here. Lots of people around us. He's charming. He's incredibly attractive. He's got a lovely deep, well spoken voice. And he's an entrepreneur who must be bloody rich if he owns more than one house. What the hell else am I going to do with myself when everyone else is out having fun?
One thing I won't tell him is that my pockets might be empty, but my bank account is full.
'One drink. Then I must get back.'
He doesn't answer or protest, but with a courtly bow he crooks his elbow and escorts me down St James. We turn right and into the far more subtle splendour of Dukes ~ Primula Bond
Facade quotes by Primula Bond
I don't want to lie. I dislike dishonesty. And I work in Hollywood, a town and a business that relies on a lot of falsehoods with people hiding behind different facades. I don't want to be a part of that. ~ David Arquette
Facade quotes by David Arquette
It turns out that an eerie type of chaos can lurk just behind a facade of order - and yet, deep inside the chaos lurks an even eerier type of order. ~ Douglas R. Hofstadter
Facade quotes by Douglas R. Hofstadter
I don't say that the supposed Civil Rights development is a myth, but it's a matter of dealing with reality. It's purely peripheral and, in many cases, it's just a facade. ~ Norman Granz
Facade quotes by Norman Granz
We have this sort of false self we portray over the internet. It's a facade of highlights we believe our peers will deem noteworthy. ~ Chris Matakas
Facade quotes by Chris Matakas
Justice and the facade of a temple are seen best from the outside. ~ Austin O'Malley
Facade quotes by Austin O'Malley
Make no mistake, hiding one's true self away in a closet and creating a facade of heterosexuality is not without its consequences. It may appear to have a degree of safety but from my experience they are very unhealthy places and do all kinds of terrible things to individuals psychologically, emotionally and behaviourally ... to say nothing of projection. The damage of the fear, shame, guilt and self-loathing that exist inside a closet are often reflected unknowingly in the external life of the individual. In or out of the closet; there is a price to pay. Each individual must weigh up the consequences of honesty, openness, secrecy and deception for themselves. Coming out, for most of us, is like an exorcism that releases us of the darkness we have lived in for years and caused us to believe awful things about ourselves. On the other side of the looking glass are freedom, light and life. ~ Anthony Venn-Brown
Facade quotes by Anthony Venn-Brown
I am who I am. There's no facade. No put-on. And being voted sexiest doesn't concern me. Maybe that's the sexy part. ~ Gerard Way
Facade quotes by Gerard Way
Choice of sources can shield extreme bias behind a façade of objectivity. ~ Noam Chomsky
Facade quotes by Noam Chomsky
I don't know what is behind the curtain; only that I need to find out. ~ Richard Paul Evans
