Heavy Gear Blitz

Famous quotes containing the words heavy, gear and/or blitz:

    “O kinsmen of the Three in One,
    O kinsmen, bless the hands that play.
    The notes they waken shall live on
    When all this heavy history’s done;
    Our hands, our hands must ebb away.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “For women ... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can’t possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman’s body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.”
    —Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    “Timothy Winters comes to school
    With eyes as wide as a football-pool,
    Ears like bombs and teeth like splinters:
    A blitz of a boy is Timothy Winters.”
    —Charles Causley (b. 1917)
