Famous quotes containing the words rooney and/or wrote:
“But off with your hat and three times three for Columbia’s
true-blue sons,
The men below who batter the foe—the men behind the guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
“When I wrote of the women in their dances and wildness, it was a mask,
on their mountain, gold-hunting, singing, in orgy,
it was a mask; when I wrote of the god,
fragmented, exiled from himself, his life, the love gone down with song,
it was myself, split open, unable to speak, in exile from myself.
...
No more masks! No more mythologies!”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
