Village Shop

Famous quotes containing the words village and/or shop:

    This is the village where the funeral
    Stilted its dusty march over deep ruts
    Up the hillside covered with queen’s lace
    To the patch of weeds known finally to all.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.
    Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
