Famous quotes containing the words alterations and/or book:

    “I put the gold star up in the front window
    beside the flag. Alterations is what I know
    and what I did: hems, gussets and seams.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The demonstrations are always early in the morning, at six o’clock. It’s wonderful, because I’m not doing anything at six anyway, so why not demonstrate?... When you’ve written to your president, to your congressman, to your senator and nothing, nothing has come of it, you take to the streets.”
    —Erica Bouza, U.S. jewelry designer and social activist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 7, by Studs Terkel (1988)
