Famous quotes containing the words austerity and/or measures:
“Something
Ought to be written about how this affects
You when you write poetry:
The extreme austerity of an almost empty mind
Colliding with the lush, Rousseau-like foliage of its desire to communicate
Something between breaths....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“There are other measures of self-respect for a man, than the number of clean shirts he puts on every day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
