Austen Family

Famous quotes containing the words austen and/or family:

    If the warmth of her Language could affect the Body it might
    be worth reading in this weather.
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    With a new familiarity and a flesh-creeping “homeliness” entirely of this unreal, materialistic world, where all “sentiment” is coarsely manufactured and advertised in colossal sickly captions, disguised for the sweet tooth of a monstrous baby called “the Public,” the family as it is, broken up on all hands by the agency of feminist and economic propaganda, reconstitutes itself in the image of the state.
    Percy Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
