Coarse Salt Company

Famous quotes containing the words coarse, salt and/or company:

    If ever a man and his wife, or a man and his mistress, who pass nights as well as days together, absolutely lay aside all good breeding, their intimacy will soon degenerate into a coarse familiarity, infallibly productive of contempt or disgust.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Today is made of yesterday, each time I steal
    toward rites I do not know, waiting for the lost
    ingredient, as if salt or money or even lust
    would keep us calm and prove us whole at last.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “In your company a man could die,” I said, “a man could die and you wouldn’t even notice, there’s no trace of friendship, a man could die in your company.”
