Famous quotes containing the words mary and/or texas:
“I want that head so sanitary and squared away that the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in there and take a dump.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“Worn down by the hoofs of millions of half-wild Texas cattle driven along it to the railheads in Kansas, the trail was a bare, brown, dusty strip hundreds of miles long, lined with the bleaching bones of longhorns and cow ponies. Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
