Famous quotes containing the words crude, oil and/or quality:

    As our actual present world ... shows itself more clearly—our world of an aristocracy materialised and null, a middle-class purblind and hideous, a lower class crude and brutal—we shall turn our eyes again, and to more purpose, upon this passionate and dauntless soldier of a forlorn hope.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    No skilled hands
    caress a stranger’s flesh with lucid oil before
    a word is spoken
    no feasting
    before a tale is told, before
    the stranger tells his name.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The quality of this novel is the way the plot is treated and not the plot itself.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
