...But listen, there will be more joy in heaven over the tears of a repentant sinner than over the white robes of a hundred just men.
Victor Hugo
Image
A tree is a nobler object than a prince in his coronation-robes.
Alexander Pope
Image
He Who is wrapped in purple robes, With planets in His care, Had pity on the least of things Asleep upon a chair.
William Butler Yeats
Image
Again rejoicing Nature sees Her robe assume its vernal hues Her leafy locks wave in the breeze, All freshly steep'd in the morning dews.
Robert Burns

Through tattered clothes, small vices do appear. Robes and furred gowns hide all.
William Shakespeare

O, this life Is nobler than attending for a check, Richer than doing nothing for a robe, Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk: Such pain the cap of him that makes him fine Yet keeps his book uncrossed.
William Shakespeare

When I am in the darkness, I want to think of it in the light, with you, he said, and straightened, and turned to walk toward the door. The parchment robes of the Silent Brothers moved around him as he moved, and Tessa watched him, paralyzed, every pulse of her heart beating out the words she could not say: Good-bye. Good-bye. Good-bye.
Cassandra Clare

Hello, Minister! bellowed Percy, sending a neat jinx straight at Thicknesse, who dropped his wand and clawed at the front of his robes, apparently in awful discomfort. Did I mention I'm resigning?
J. K. Rowling

Like a robe wears out over time and turns to rags, life wears out from day to day, from second to second.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
Image
Alas! In vain historians pry and probe: The same wind blows, and in the same live robe Truth bends her head to fingers curved cupwise And with a woman's smile and a child's care Examines something she is holding there Concealed by her own shoulder from our eyes.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Guess what: God created beings not to act in a morality play but to experience what is unfathomable, to elicit what can become, to descend into the darkness of creation and reveal it to him, to mourn and celebrate enigma and possibility. The universe is a whirling dervish, not a hanging judge in robes.
Richard Grossinger

No man can put on the robes of Christ’s righteousness till he has taken off his own.

Diane von Furstenberg

If there were no falsehood in the world, there would be no doubt, if there were no doubt, there would be no inquiry if no inquiry, no wisdom, no knowledge, no genius and Fancy herself would lie muffled up in her robe, inactive, pale, and bloated.
Walter Savage Landor
Image
I stood still, a prey to a thousand thoughts, stifled in the robe of the evening.
Henri

In the condition of men, it frequently happens that grief and anxiety lie hid under the golden robes of prosperity and the gloom of calamity is cheered by secret radiations of hope and comfort as in the works of nature, the bog is sometimes covered with flowers, and the mine concealed in the barren crags.
Samuel Johnson
Image
A poet soaring in the high reason of his fancies, with his garland and singing robes about him.
John Milton

Sirius — it’s me . . . it’s Peter . . . your friend . . . you wouldn’t . . .” Black kicked out and Pettigrew recoiled. “There’s enough filth on my robes without you touching them,” said Black.
