Famous quotes containing the words coats of, coats and/or arms:

    “creamy iridescent coats of mail,
    with small iridescent flies crawling on them.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    “... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    “Action is at bottom a swinging and flailing of the arms to regain one’s balance and keep afloat.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
