Famous quotes containing the word rag:
“I found my brothers body at the bottom there, where they had thrown it away on the rocks, by the river. Like an old, dirty rag nobody wants. He was dead. And I felt I had killed him. I turned back to give myself up.... Because if a mans life can be lived so long and come out this way, like rubbish, then something was horrible, and had to be ended one way or another. And I decided to help.”
—Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)
“New York is a woman
holding, according to history,
a rag called liberty with one hand
and strangling the earth with the other.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
“He seems like an average type of man. Hes not, like smart. Im not trying to rag on him or anything. But he has the same mentality I haveand Im in the eighth grade.”
—Vanessa Martinez (b. c. 1978)
