Lewis Lapham

Famous quotes containing the words lewis and/or lapham:

    The first month of his absence
    I was numb and sick
    And where he’d left his promise
    Life did not turn or kick.
    The seed, the seed of love was sick.
    —Alun Lewis (1915–1944)

    Seeing is believing, and if an American success is to count for anything in the world it must be clothed in the raiment of property. As often as not it isn’t the money itself that means anything; it is the use of money as the currency of the soul.
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
