“For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norms, even our cultural ideal.”
Carl Bernstein
“My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.”
Hannah More
“Taking food alone tends to make one hard and coarse. Those accustomed to it must lead a Spartan life if they are not to go downhill. Hermits have observed, if for only this reason, a frugal diet. For it is only in company that eating is done justice; food must be divided and distributed if it is to be well received.”
Walter Benjamin
“It could have something to do with the coarse quality of their paper.”
Chuck Gerba
“When grilling, I like really good sirloin steak. I use three peppers: green, white, and black in a coarse grind. I press the pepper into the steak and just grill.”
Dave DeWitt
“When the coarse cloth she saw, with many a stain, / Soiled by rude hands, who cut and came again.”
George Crabbe
“I have found it to be the most serious objection to coarse labors long continued, that they compelled me to eat and drink coarsely also.”
Henry David Thoreau
