Rich Countries

Famous quotes containing the words rich and/or countries:

“Its clearness
is gone, and
the song.
It is a rich brown, a load
of churned earth
goes with it.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philtre, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
