Single Zinc Finger

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or finger:

    ... when we shall have our amendment to the Constitution of the United States, everyone will think it was always so, just exactly as many young people believe that all the privileges, all the freedom, all the enjoyments which woman now possesses were always hers. They have no idea of how every single inch of ground that she stands upon to-day has been gained by the hard work of some little handful of women of the past.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    There in the narrow,
    mote-filled finger of light, is a blonde
    so blonde, so blinding, she is a blizzard, a huge
    spook, and lights up like the sun the audience
    in its galoshes. She bulges like a deuce coupe.
    When we see her we say good-bye to Kansas.
    Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
