Acadia was founded in 1916 by Woodrow Wilson as the first Eastern national park, aided by rich men, often with middle initials, the 'rusticators,' as they were known then, the first of our wealthy out-of-state visitors.
Alexander Chee
Civic poetry is public poetry. It is political poetry. It is about the hard stuff of life: money, crime, gender, corporate excess, racial injustice. It gives expression not just to our rites but also to our problems and even our values; these poems are not about rustic vacations.
Alissa Quart
Malayalis tend to be nostalgic about rustic storylines, pastoral themes and ordinary folk who lead a simple way of life.
Biju Menon
A molcajete is a stone mortar and pestle from Mexico. They're great for grinding spices and making salsa and guacamole because they give everything a nice coarse and rustic feel. I've never collected anything, but I think I might start collecting these because each one is decorated differently.
Bobby Flay
Until the end of elementary school, I lived in a suburban area, so the type of village I used to live in is borderline between village and the city, so I'm familiar with the rustic environment.
Bong Joon-ho
I live in Topanga Canyon, which is like a faux-rustic enclave in Los Angeles. I love the sounds of all the critters outside - the frogs, owls, crickets, and birds. Some of the birds around here are pretty accomplished musicians. You can learn a lot from them.
Cliff Martinez
My husband is from Florence. And he has a 15th-century barn that is completely rustic and very 'Green Acres'-like.
Debi Mazar
I have worked with wool all my life as a designer. There's so much more to it than knitwear - it's an amazingly versatile material and can be used in so many different ways from chic to rustic.
Donatella Versace
I call my design style rustically modern. I like to take traditional or rustic features and fuse it into a more modern design.
Drew Scott
I love really simple colours at home - lots of cream, beige, and grey with rustic wooden tables.
Ella Woodward
My food is Louisiana, New Orleans-based, well-seasoned, rustic. I think it's pretty unique because of my background being influenced by my mom, Portuguese and French Canadian. There's a lot going on there.
Emeril Lagasse
I've always been known for bold flavors and rustic cooking, but there is another side to me. As you evolve as a cook, you understand life and how serious it is. There comes a point where there's got to be a better balance.
It is most necessary to avoid rusticity in any way, whether in material, design, or execution.
George Edmund Street
The quiet rhythmic monotone of the wall of logs fills one with the rustic peace of a secluded nook in the woods.
Gustav Stickley
He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.
Horace
I really like rustic mediterranean cooking. And I like trying out curry takeaways.
Jack Dee
I've always loved the rustic, slightly worn style of Canvas and that element of an artisanal hand. It's so inherently chic.
Jason Wu
Often, in horror films, the single most effective device for building a sense of scariness is the soundtrack: the clanking of chains, the groaning of off-stage ghouls, the unmistakable sound of a cannibal rustic firing up a chainsaw.
John Lanchester
My personal decorating style is cozy, romantic and a little rustic, with a sense of whimsy.
Kimberly Schlapman
I hate flashy metrosexual men. I prefer a rustic man who will make a long-time companion.
Padmapriya Janakiraman
Newfoundlanders, what are we? We're slobbering idiots, slack-jawed simpletons, rustic fish billies living in Dogpatch-on-the-rocks, lower than lower Slobovians, the laughing stock and 'white trash' of Canada.
Scandinavian-Danish cuisine was something quite rustic, mostly known for pastries and smorgasbord cuisine, which in itself has become a joke.
I always sort of swooned at the sight of the classic barn structures in central and northern Minnesota, where everything seemed rustic and weathered and made to age gracefully.
Back in 1990, there were fewer than 20 wineries in and around Paso Robles, a farming community midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Most of the wines produced there were rustic, highly tannic and alcoholic, with little charm or finesse.
I've always joked that my food memoirs will be titled 'Brutta ma Buona,' the phrase Italians use to describe food that's delicious but rustic-looking at best: ugly but good.
I love how Jamie Oliver makes seasonal, local foods in a rustic way, without a lot of fuss.
In Tamil and Telugu films, I am not called for stylish roles and often play rustic or unglamorous roles in them.
I make very basic country rustic furniture.
