Famous quotes containing the words barry and/or melton:

    Let’s face it, we became ingrown, clannish, and retarded. Cut off from the mainstream of humanity, we came to believe that pink is “flesh-color”, that mayonnaise is a nutrient, and that Barry Manilow is a musician.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    To be innocent is natural, but to die pure of heart—that’s a gift.
    —Adele Comandini. Edward Sutherland. George Melton (Harry Carey)
