Famous quotes containing the words welfare and/or state:

    “Borrow a child and get on welfare.
    Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with 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)

    each time I talk to God
    you interfere.
    You of the bla-bla set,
    carrying on about the state of letters.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
