Famous quotes containing the words witch and/or ball:

    The witch turned as red
    as the Jap flag.
    Her blood began to boil up
    like Coca-Cola.
    Her eyes began to melt.
    She was done for.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    [Children] need time to stare at a wall, daydream over a picture book, make mud pies, kick a ball around, whistle a tune or play the kazoo—to do the things today’s adults had time to do when they were growing up.
    Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)
