Famous quotes containing the words blue, bombers and/or seasons:
“...the shiny-cheeked merchant bankers from London with eighties striped blue ties and white collars and double-barreled names and double chins and double-breasted suits, who said ears when they meant yes and hice when they meant house and school when they meant Eton...”
—John le Carré (b. 1931)
“Suppose that humans happen to be so constructed that they desire the opportunity for freely undertaken productive work. Suppose that they want to be free from the meddling of technocrats and commissars, bankers and tycoons, mad bombers who engage in psychological tests of will with peasants defending their homes, behavioral scientists who cant tell a pigeon from a poet, or anyone else who tries to wish freedom and dignity out of existence or beat them into oblivion.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“Let there be seasons so that our tongues will be rich in asparagus and limes.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
