Coarse Salt Company

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

    ... and fierce in each disk
    of coarse yellow the archaic
    smile, almost
    agony, almost
    a boy’s grin.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 5:13.

    I shall never send for a priest or recite an Act of Contrition in my last moments. I do not mind if I lose my soul for all eternity. If the kind of God exists Who would damn me for not working out a deal with Him, then that is unfortunate. I should not care to spend eternity in the company of such a person.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
