Famous quotes containing the words relative, values, coin and/or column:
“Are not all finite beings better pleased with motions relative than absolute?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Tallulah [Bankhead] was the foremost naughty girl of her era but, in those days, “naughty” meant piquant, whereas values have so changed that now, in the 1970s, it generally means nauseating.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
“It is not funny that a man should be killed, but it is sometimes funny that he should be killed for so little, and that his death should be the coin of what we call civilization.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
