Line Platforms Opened

Famous quotes containing the words line, platforms and/or opened:

    I fear I agree with your friend in not liking all sermons. Some of them, one has to confess, are rubbish: but then I release my attention from the preacher, and go ahead in any line of thought he may have started: and his after-eloquence acts as a kind of accompaniment—like music while one is reading poetry, which often, to me, adds to the effect.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions .... You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you’re not going to change each other’s minds. It’s a waste of your time and my time.
    Barbara Bush (b. 1925)

    we do not explain my husband’s insane abuse
    and we do not say why your wild-haired wife has fled
    or that my father opened like a walnut and then was dead.
    Your palms fold over me like knees. Love is the only use.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
