Famous quotes containing the words mary, kay and/or ash:

    Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:38.

    Most literature on the culture of adolescence focuses on peer pressure as a negative force. Warnings about the “wrong crowd” read like tornado alerts in parent manuals. . . . It is a relative term that means different things in different places. In Fort Wayne, for example, the wrong crowd meant hanging out with liberal Democrats. In Connecticut, it meant kids who weren’t planning to get a Ph.D. from Yale.
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    Thoth, Hermes, the stylus,
    the palette, the pen, the quill endure,
    though our books are a floor
    of smouldering ash under our feet.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
