Blank

Famous quotes containing the word blank:

    How, in one short century, has this ersatz sport so strangled the consciousness of the country in the grip of its flabby tentacles that the mention of women’s baseball gets no reaction other than blank amazement?
    Darlene Mehrer, As quoted in Women in Baseball. Ch. 6, by Gai Ingham Berlage (1994)

    It will be worth it, if in the end I manage
    To blank out whatever it is that is doing the damage.
    Then there will be nothing I know.
    My mind will fold into itself, like fields, like snow.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Christ in this country would quite likely have been arrested under the Suppression of Communism act.
    —Joost de Blank (1908–1968)
