Outer Measures

Famous quotes containing the words outer and/or measures:

    The outer world, from which we cower into our houses, seemed after all a gentle habitable place; and night after night a man’s bed, it seemed, was laid and waiting for him in the fields, where God keeps an open house.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    the dread

    That how we live measures our own nature,
    And at his age having no more to show
    Than one hired box should make him pretty sure
    He warranted no better,
    Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
