Local Contrast

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or contrast:

    The local snivels through the fields:
    I sit between felt-hatted mums....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Happiness ain’t a thing in itself—it’s only a contrast with something that ain’t pleasant.... And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain’t happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
