Tied Bow

Famous quotes containing the words tied and/or bow:

    “The worker can unionize, go out on strike; mothers are divided from each other in homes, tied to their children by compassionate bonds; our wildcat strikes have most often taken the form of physical or mental breakdown.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “I never knowed how clothes could change a body before. Why, before, he looked like the orneriest old rip that ever was; but now, when he’d take off his new white beaver and make a bow and do a smile, he looked that grand and good and pious that you’d say he had walked right out of the ark, and maybe was old Leviticus himself.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
