Home Uniforms

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or uniforms:

    With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I place these numbed wrists to the pane
    watching white uniforms whisk over
    him in the tube-kept
    prison
    fear what they will do in experiment
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
