Famous quotes containing the words august and/or belmont:

    “Sorrow has the fortunate peculiarity that it preys upon itself. It dies of starvation. Since it is essentially an interruption of habits, it can be replaced by new habits. Constituting, as it does, a void, it is soon filled up by a real “horror vacui.””
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

    “Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work or friendship—two of life’s major assets.”
    —Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
