Luxury Trim Level

Famous quotes containing the words luxury, trim and/or level:

    Good-night to the Season!—the dances,
    The fillings of hot little rooms,
    The glancings of rapturous glances,
    The fancyings of fancy costumes;
    The pleasures which Fashion makes duties,
    The praisings of fiddles and flutes,
    The luxury of looking at beauties,
    The tedium of talking to mutes;
    Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)

    Manhood is melted into courtesies, valour into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    [A writer] should try not to be too far, personally, below the level of his work.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
