Famous quotes containing the word sheet:

there in the hall, flat on a sheet of blood that
ran down the stairs. I did appreciate it. There are few

only casually invited, and that several months ago.”

“Some days your hat’s off to the full-time mothers for being able to endure the relentless routine and incessant policing seven days a week instead of two. But on other days, merely the image of this woman crafting a brontosaurus out of sugar paste and sheet cake for her two-year-old’s birthday drives a stake through your heart.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
