Luxury Goods

Famous quotes containing the words luxury and/or goods:

    This luxury of the precocious child,
    Time’s precious chronic invalid,—
    would we, darlings, resign it if we could?
    Our blight has been our sinecure:
    mere talent was enough for us—
    glitter in fragments and rough drafts.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    By right or wrong,
    Lands and goods go to the strong.
    Property will brutely draw
    Still to the proprietor;
    Silver to silver creep and wind,
    And kind to kind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
