Famous quotes containing the words uniform and/or colour:

    Odors from decaying food wafting through the air when the door is opened, colorful mold growing between a wet gym uniform and the damp carpet underneath, and the complete supply of bath towels scattered throughout the bedroom can become wonderful opportunities to help your teenager learn once again that the art of living in a community requires compromise, negotiation, and consensus.
    Barbara Coloroso (20th century)

    The tears I shed
    weren’t bitter things,
    so ice-floes in spring
    touched by the sun,
    show colour of flowers.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
