Sustaining Grace

Famous quotes containing the words sustaining and/or grace:

“I mourn the safe and motherly old middle-class queen, who held the nation warm under the fold of her big, hideous Scotch-plaid shawl and whose duration had been so extraordinarily convenient and beneficent.

—Henry James (1843–1916)

Old Attic grace and Spartan discipline
With violence.”
