Lax Conditions

Famous quotes containing the words lax and/or conditions:

“We want nights
Of vague adventure, lips lax wet and warm,
Bees in the stomach, sweat across the brow. Now.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
