Layer Quotations
Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.
Edward Abbey

Alexis de Tocqueville
Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.
Carl Sandburg

Patty Duke
Layer by layer art strips life bare.
Robert Musil
