Reduced Price Lunch

Famous quotes containing the words reduced, price and/or lunch:

“Realism, whether it be socialist or not, falls short of reality. It shrinks it, attenuates it, falsifies it; it does not take into account our basic truths and our fundamental obsessions: love, death, astonishment. It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective. Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

“For what were all these country patriots born?
To hunt, and vote, and raise the price of corn?”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Extreme patience and persistence are required,
Yet everybody succeeds at this before being handed
The surprise box lunch of the rest of his life.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
