Famous quotes containing the words floor and/or features:

    Before she has her floor swept
    Or her dishes done.
    Any day you’ll find her
    A-sunning in the sun!
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.
    Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
