Local Talent

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or talent:

    Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
    Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday
    The men with hunters, dog-breeding wool-defined women,
    Children all saddle-swank, mugfaced middleaged wives
    Glaring at jellies, husbands on leave from the garden
    Watchful as weasels, car-tuning curt-haired sons
    Back now, all of them, to their local lives....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The best friend will probably get the best spouse, because a good marriage is based on the talent for friendship.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
