Famous quotes containing the words fifteen, tribute, velvet and/or underground:
“Let the realist not mind appearances. Let him delegate to others the costly courtesies and decorations of social life. The virtues are economists, but some of the vices are also. Thus, next to humility, I have noticed that pride is a pretty good husband. A good pride is, as I reckon it, worth from five hundred to fifteen hundred a year.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay—in solid cash—the tribute which philistinism owes to culture, the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Let the soil squeal I am the biting man
And the velvet dead inch out.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Or as, when an underground train, in the tube, stops too long between stations

Leaving only the growing terror of nothing to think about....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
