Live Cover

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or cover:

“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

“Nothing can we call our own but death,
And that small model of the barren earth
Which serves as paste and cover to our bones.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
