Famous quotes containing the words start and/or country:
“A really tight friendship is when you start to really care about the person. If he gets sick, you kind of start worrying about him—or if he gets hit by a car. An everyday friend, you say, I know that kid, he’s all right, and you don’t really think much of him. But a close friend you worry about more than yourself. Well, maybe not more, but about the same.”
—Anonymous Fifteen-Year-Old Boy. As quoted in Children’s Friendships by Zick Rubin, ch. 3 (1980)
“Though it is curious here,
unusually awkward to walk.
It is without grace.
There is no rhythm
in this country of dirt.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
