Small Relief

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or relief:

    Tomorrow in the offices the year on the stamps will be altered;
    Tomorrow new diaries consulted, new calendars stand;
    With such small adjustments life will again move forward
    Implicating us all; and the voice of the living be heard:
    “It is to us that you should turn your straying attention;
    Us who need you, and are affected by your fortune;
    Us you should love and to whom you should give your word.”
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    This is God’s country—Why set it on fire and make it look like hell?
    —For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
