Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or vacation:
“And a sigh heaves from all the small things on earth,
The books, the papers, the old garters and union-suit buttons
Kept in a white cardboard box somewhere ...
The summer demands and takes away too much,
But night, the reserved, the reticent, gives more than it takes.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The transcendental promises a vacation from history.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
