Famous quotes containing the words crude, oil and/or quality:
“A refined soul is distressed to know that someone owes it thanks; a crude soul, to know that it owes someone thanks.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“We’re headed for collapse, if you want my opinion, Missy. I can see it in the fallin’ off of the quality of vagrants. There was a time you could find real good company in almost any jungle you’d pick, men who could talk, men who’d read a book now and then; and now, what do you find, a lot of dirty little guttersnipes no decent tramp would want to associate with.
Well, it’s been that way all through history.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
