Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or relief:
“Among all the modernized aspects of the most luxurious of industries, the model, a vestige of voluptuous barbarianism, is like some plunder-laden prey. She is the object of unbridled regard, a living bait, the passive realization of an ideal.... No other female occupation contains such potent impulses to moral disintegration as this one, applying as it does the outward signs of riches to a poor and beautiful girl.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (18731954)
“Look at your lake, Christine. Youll love it here, when you get used to the dark. And youll love the dark, too. Its friendly. And peaceful. It brings rest and relief from pain. Its right under the Opera. The music comes down and the darkness distills it, cleanses it of the suffering that made it, then its all beauty and life here is like a resurrection.”
—Eric Taylor, and Leroux. Arthur Lubin. Erique Claudin (Claude Rains)
