Famous quotes containing the words maine and/or customs:

    It was a Maine lobster town—
    each morning boatloads of hands
    pushed off for granite
    quarries on the islands.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    The correct rate of speed in innovating changes in long-standing social customs has not yet been determined by even the most expert of the experts. Personally I am beginning to think there is more danger in lagging than in speeding up cultural change to keep pace with mechanical change.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
