Broad Street Pump

Famous quotes containing the words broad, street and/or pump:

    It will be no excuse to an idle and untoward servant, who would not attend his business by candle-light, to plead that he had not broad sun-shine. The candle, that is set up in us, shines bright enough for all our purposes.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    The last time I saw Paris
    Her heart was warm and gay,
    I heard the laughter of her heart in every street café.
    Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)

    My nurses, those starchy ghosts,
    hover over me for my lame hours
    and my lame days. The mechanics
    of the body pump for their tricks.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
