Famous quotes containing the words poor, sleep and/or quality:
“Its the same the whole world over;
Its the poor that gets the blame,
Its the rich that gets the pleasure.
Isnt it a blooming shame?”

“smashing the windows of sleep and dream
smashing the windows of history
a whiteness scattering
in hailstones
each a mirror
for mans eyes.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“I am not naturally ... A bag of wind; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly to cut in future all my old ideas on this head. I dont think modesty pays. It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
