Famous quotes containing the words coarse, salt and/or company:
“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“When the salt sheet broke in a storm of singing
The voices of all the drowned swam on the wind.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
“A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst, he has the company of a boy, a youth, and by and by a grown manthe one he used to be.”
—Cesare Pavese (19081950)
