Warm Summer Conditions

Famous quotes containing the words warm, summer and/or conditions:

    “Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “‘Twas a balmy summer evening, and a goodly crowd was there.
    Which well-nigh filled Joe’s barroom on the corner of the square,”
    —Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)

    “To get it right, be born with luck or else make it. Never give up. Get the knack of getting people to help you and also pitch in yourself. A little money helps, but what really gets it right is to never—I repeat—never under any conditions face the facts.”
    —Ruth Gordon (1896–1985)
