Famous quotes containing the words space and/or suit:

    Let the space under the first storey be dark, let the water
    lap the stone posts, and vivid green slime glimmer
    upon them; let a boat be kept there.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The grand style follows suit with all great passion. It disdains to please, it forgets to persuade. It commands. It wills.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
