Overcoat Quotes

I have been here before as a spirit - this is just my physical body, it is just an overcoat. And at death, you will take the overcoat off. Glenn Hoddle
Put off your imagination, as you put off your overcoat, when you enter the laboratory. Put it on again, as you put on your overcoat, when you leave. Claude Bernard

She understood as women often do more easily than men, that the declared meaning of a spoken sentence is only its overcoat, and the real meaning lies underneath its scarves and buttons. Peter Carey
I looked at her; I saw a slipshod permanet crumpling her hair into a shapeless mass of curls; I saw a brown overcoat, pitifully threadbare and a bit too shot; I saw a face both unobtrusively attractive and attractively unobtrusive; I sensed in this young woman tranquillity, simplicity and modesty, and I felt that these were qualities I needed; moreover, it seemed to me that we were very much akin: all I had to do was to go up and start talking to her and she would smile as if a long-lost...

There is no good arguing with the inevitable. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat. James Russell Lowell
A word is not the same with one writer as it is with another. One tears it from his guts. The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket. William Wordsworth
That's how it is, Rocamadour: in Paris we're like fungus, we grow on the railings of staircases, in dark rooms with greasy smells, where people make love all the time and then fry some eggs and put on Vivaldi records, light cigarettes... and outside there are all sorts of things, the windows open onto the air and it all begins with a sparrow or a gutter, it rains a lot here, rocamadour, much more than in the country, and things get rusty... we don't have many clothes, we get along with so... Julio Cortazar
Nobody'd be different. The only thing that would be different would be you. Not that you'd be so much older or anything. It wouldn't be that, exactly. You'd just be different, that's all. You'd have an overcoat on this time. Or the kid that was your partner in line the last time had got scarlet fever and you'd have a new partner. Or you'd have a substitute taking the class, instead of Miss Aigletinger. Or you'd heard your mother and father having a terrific fight in the bathroom. Or you'd... J. D. Salinger
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'."
We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Wilson Mizner quote: "Popularity is exhausting. The life of the party almost always..."
Popularity is exhausting. The life of the party almost always winds up in a corner with an overcoat over him. Wilson Mizner
A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts. The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket. Charles Peguy
My overcoat is worn out; my shirts also are worn out. And I ask to be allowed to have a lamp in the evening; it is indeed wearisome sitting alone in the dark. William Tyndale
