Custom

Famous quotes containing the word custom:

    Chrome: her pretty childface smooth as steel, with eyes that would have been at home at the bottom of some deep Atlantic trench, cold gray eyes that lived under terrible pressure. They say she cooked her own cancers for people who crossed her, rococo custom variations that took years to kill you.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
    Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
    The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
    Where most she satisfies.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    How but in custom and in ceremony
    Are innocence and beauty born?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
