Living Standard

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or standard:

“Grown onto every inch of plate, except
Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)

“Where shall we look for standard English but to the words of a standard man?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
