Famous quotes containing the words david and/or brooks:

    An ordinary man will work every day for a year at shoveling dirt to support his body, or a family of bodies; but he is an extraordinary man who will work a whole day in a year for the support of his soul. Even the priests, men of God, so called, for the most part confess that they work for the support of the body.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My wife never quite forgets to put flowers in vases,
    Bizarre prints in the most unusual places,
    Give teas for poets, wear odoriferous furs.
    An awful blooming is hers.
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
