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)

“Mixing one’s wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
