Body Stripes

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or stripes:

“American Archangel you are going—
your body as big as a moving van—
the houses, the highways are turning you in.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“If the Americans, in addition to the eagle and the Stars and Stripes and the more unofficial symbols of bison, moose and Indian, should ever need another emblem, one which is friendly and pleasant, then I think they should choose the grapefruit. Or rather the half grapefruit, for this fruit only comes in halves, I believe. Practically speaking, it is always yellow, always just as fresh and well served. And it always comes at the same, still hopeful hour of the morning.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
