Regiment Part

Famous quotes containing the words regiment and/or part:

“Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?”
—William Morris (1834–1896)

“Shame, what was it? It was part of extreme delight. It was that part of delight of which man is usually afraid. Why afraid? The most secret, shameful things are most terribly beautiful.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
