Famous quotes containing the words subsistence and/or level:
“All my life I have lived and behaved very much like [the] sandpiper—just running down the edges of different countries and continents, “looking for something” ... having spent most of my life timorously seeking for subsistence along the coastlines of the world.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Let still the woman take
An elder than herself. So wears she to him;
So sways she level in her husband’s heart.”
