Famous quotes containing the words street and/or children:
“What are you now? If we could touch one another,
if these our separate entities could come to grips,
clenched like a Chinese puzzle . . . yesterday
I stood in a crowded street that was live with people,
and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
“My father was frightened of his mother. I was frightened of my father and I am damned well going to see to it that my children are frightened of me.”
—George V (20th century)
