Alternate Costume

Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or costume:

“In museums and palaces we are alternate radicals and conservatives.”
—Henry James (1843–1816)

“My neighbors tell me of their adventures with famous gentlemen and ladies, what notabilities they met at the dinner-table; but I am no more interested in such things than in the contents of the Daily Times. The interest and the conversation are about costume and manners chiefly; but a goose is a goose still, dress it as you will.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
