Famous quotes containing the words working and/or clothes:

    “English audiences of working people are like an instrument that responds to the player. Thought ripples up and down them, and if in some heart the speaker strikes a dissonance there is a swift answer. Always the voice speaks from gallery or pit, the terrible voice which detaches itself in every English crowd, full of caustic wit, full of irony or, maybe, approval.”
    —Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)

    “When the morning was waking over the war
    He put on his clothes and stepped out and he died....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
