Famous quotes containing the words relief and/or fragments:
“Costs less to keep than a horse. Doesn’t get sick. Doesn’t eat when it doesn’t work.”
—State of Indiana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
