Poison Spring State

Famous quotes containing the words poison, spring and/or state:

    I wonder what subtle form of manslaughter is next on the program. Am I to be dropped into a vat of molten steel and become part of a new skyscraper, or are you going to ask this female to kiss me again and poison me to death?
    Ernest Lehman (b.1920)

    So Spring comes merry towards me here, but earns
    No answering smile from me, whose life is twin’d
    With the dead boughs that winter still must bind,
    Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

    You can make as good a design out of an American turkey as a Japanese out of his native stork.
    —For the State of Illinois, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
