Faces of Acadia

These are photographs selected from my second self-published book, Faces of Acadia, published originally in 2010.
The face is the soul of the body.
   -  Ludwig Wittgenstein
If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
   -  Abraham Lincoln
It is only at the first encounter that a face makes its full impression on us.
   -  Arthur Schopenhauer
Time engraves our faces with all the tears we have not shed.
   -  Natalie Clifford Barney
At 50, everyone has the face he deserves.
   -  George Orwell
What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter?
That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn’t everyone look at himself in his own
particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
   -  Pablo Picasso
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
   -  Kahlil Gibran
A man finds room in the few square inches of the face for the traits of all his ancestors;
for the expression of all his history, and his wants.
   -  Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wicked thoughts and worthless efforts gradually set their mark on the face, especially the eyes.
-Arthur Schopenhauer
To a true artist only that face is beautiful which, quite apart from its exterior, shines with the truth
within the soul.
   -  Mahatma Gandhi
A man’s face is his autobiography. A woman’s face is her work of fiction.
   -  Oscar Wilde
God had given you one face, and you make yourself another.
   -  William Shakespeare
The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes.
   -  William Shakespeare
A man’s face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium
of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man’s thoughts and aspirations.
   -  Arthur Schopenhauer
