Famous quotes containing the words big and/or muddy:

“She saw all things except herself serene:
Child, big black woman, pretty kitchen towels.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“The swimming hole is still in use. It has the same mudbank. It is still impossible to dress without carrying mud home in one’s inner garments. As an engineer I could devise improvements for that swimming hole. But I doubt if the decrease in mother’s grief at the homecoming of muddy boys would compensate the inherent joys of getting muddy.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
