Temporary Matter

Famous quotes containing the words temporary and/or matter:

    The great attraction of fashion is that it diverted attention from the insoluble problems of beauty and provided an easy way—which money could buy ... to a simply stated, easily reproduced ideal of beauty, however temporary that ideal.

    Sir Richard cried in his English pride,
    ‘We have fought such a fight for a day and a night
    As may never be fought again!
    We have won great glory, my men!
    And a day less or more
    At sea or ashore,
    We die—does it matter when?
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
