Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or park:

    And as it measured in her calipers,
    The mountain stood exalted in its place.
    So love will take between the hands a face. . . .
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Borrow a child and get on welfare.
    Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
    or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
    to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
    be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
    back ...
    Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
