Famous quotes containing the words common and/or materials:

    “But neither milk-white rose nor red
    May bloom in prison air;
    The shard, the pebble, and the flint,
    Are what they give us there:
    For flowers have been known to heal
    A common man’s despair.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Kicking his mother until she let go of his soul
    Has given his a healthy appetite: clearly, her role
    In the New Order must be
    To supply and deliver his raw materials free;”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
