Red Nose Day

Famous quotes containing the words red, nose and/or day:

    “Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “Nobody saves America by sniffing cocaine,
    Jiggling yr knees blankeyed in the rain,
    When it snows in yr nose you catch cold in yr brain.”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    “This will be a black baby born in Mississippi, and thus where ever he is born he will be in prison ... If I go to jail now it may help hasten that day when my child and all children will be free.”
    —Diane Nash (b. 1938)
