Reaching

Famous quotes containing the word reaching:

    And a man came out of the trees
    And took our horse by the head
    And reaching back to his ribs
    Deliberately stabbed him dead.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I told him this is a pleasant life,
    To set your breast to the bark of trees
    That all your days are dim beneath,
    And reaching up with a little knife,
    To loose the resin and take it down
    And bring it to market when you please.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Profound as race prejudice is against the Negro American, it is not practically as far- reaching as the prejudice against women. For stripping away the sentimentality which makes Mother’s Day and Best American Mother Contests, the truth is that women suffer all the effects of a minority.
    Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
