Fortified Wines

Famous quotes containing the words fortified and/or wines:

“Our rural village life was a purifying, uplifting influence that fortified us against the later impacts of urbanization; Church and State, because they were separated and friendly, had spiritual and ethical standards that were mutually enriching; freedom and discipline, individualism and collectivity, nature and nurture in their interaction promised an ever stronger democracy. I have no illusions that those simpler, happier days can be resurrected.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

“They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
