Fabulous Baker Boys

Famous quotes containing the words fabulous, baker and/or boys:

    All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Children rarely want to know who their parents were before they were parents, and when age finally stirs their curiosity, there is no parent left to tell them.
    —Russell Baker (20th century)

    The boys and girls are one tonight.
    They unbutton blouses. They unzip flies.
    They take off shoes. They turn off the light.
    The glimmering creatures are full of lies.
    They are eating each other. They are overfed.
    At night, alone, I marry the bed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
