Famous quotes containing the word interior:

    “Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “I am reminded by my journey how exceedingly new this country still is. You have only to travel for a few days into the interior and back parts even of many of the old States, to come to that very America which the Northmen, and Cabot, and Gosnold, and Smith, and Raleigh visited.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Men expect too much, do too little,
    Put the contraption before the accomplishment,
    Lack skill of the interior mind
    To fashion dignity with shapes of air.
    Luxury, yes but not elegance!”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
