Winter Conditions

Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or conditions:

    The winter is to a woman of fashion what, of yore, a campaign was to the soldiers of the Empire.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
