Plain Voiced Stops

Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or stops:

“The Miss America contest is ... the most perfectly rendered theater in our culture, for it so perfectly captures what we yearn for: a low-class ritual, a polished restatement of vulgarity, that wants to open the door to high-class respectability by way of plain middle-class anxiety and ambition.”
—Gerald Early (b. 1952)

“Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.”
—Phyllis Diller (20th century)
