Suburban Lines

Famous quotes containing the words suburban and/or lines:

    Back from that great-grandfather I have come
    to puzzle a bending gravestone for his sake,
    to question this diminishing and feed a minimum
    of children their careful slice of suburban cake.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Every living language, like the perspiring bodies of living creatures, is in perpetual motion and alteration; some words go off, and become obsolete; others are taken in, and by degrees grow into common use; or the same word is inverted to a new sense or notion, which in tract of time makes an observable change in the air and features of a language, as age makes in the lines and mien of a face.
    Richard Bentley (1662–1742)
