Shabby Quotes

Time makes everything mean and shabby and wrinkled. The tragedy of life, Howard, is not that the beautiful things die young, but that they grow old and mean.

Raymond Chandler

It’s great to feel happy. Go, do what makes you feel happy. Do it shabbily and get shallow happiness; Do it hard and feel the hardest happiness!

Israelmore Ayivor

Such is true joy’s absolute certainty,Its slow lit fuse that burns holesIn the shabby shroud of death forever.
