Thin Rectangular Plate

Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or plate:

    Twilight and bulb define
    the brown room, the overstuffed plum sofa,
    the boy, and the girl’s thin hands above his head.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    Our press is certainly bankrupt in the “thrill of awe”Motherwise reverence: reverence for nickel plate and brummagem. Let us sincerely hope that this fact will remain a fact forever; for to my mind a discriminating irreverence is the creator and protector of human liberty.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
