Famous quotes containing the words red and/or shoes:

    “To motorists bound to or from the Jersey shore, Perth Amboy consists of five traffic lights that sometimes tie up week-end traffic for miles. While cars creep along or come to a prolonged halt, drivers lean out to discuss with each other this red menace to freedom of the road.”
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “The thing to remember about fathers is, they’re men.
    A girl has to keep it in mind:
    They are dragon-seekers, bent on improbable rescues.
    Scratch any father, you find
    Someone chock-full of qualms and romantic terrors,
    Believing change is a threat—
    Like your first shoes with heels on, like your first bicycle
    It took such months to get.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
