Total Lift

Famous quotes containing the words total and/or lift:

    Luxury, or a refinement on the pleasures and conveniences of life, had long been supposed the source of every corruption in government, and the immediate cause of faction, sedition, civil wars, and the total loss of liberty. It was, therefore, universally regarded as a vice, and was an object of declamation to all satyrists, and severe moralists.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    And then he would lift this finest
    of furniture to his big left shoulder
    and tuck it in and draw the bow
    so carefully as to make the music

    almost visible on the air.
    Stanley Plumly (b. 1939)
