Pure State

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or state:

“We are born with luck
which is to say with gold in our mouth.
As new and smooth as a grape,
as pure as a pond in Alaska,
as good as the stem of a green bean
we are born and that ought to be enough....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“A functioning police state needs no police.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
