Famous quotes containing the words free and/or climbing:

    ‘Society’ in America means all the honest, kindly-mannered, pleasant- voiced women, and all the good, brave, unassuming men, between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Each of these has a free pass in every city and village, ‘good for this generation only,’ and it depends on each to make use of this pass or not as it may happen to suit his or her fancy.

    then sitting here
    holding a basket of fire.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
