Famous quotes containing the words cushion and/or gum:

    “Children belong in families, which, ideally, serve as a sanctuary and a cushion from the world at large. Parents belong to society and are a part of that greater world. Sometimes parents are a channel to the larger society, sometimes they are a shield from it. Ideally they act as filters, guiding their children and teaching them to avoid the tempting trash.”
    —Louise Hart (20th century)

    “The hunchback on the corner, with gum and shoelaces,
    Has his own wisdom and pleasures,”
    —Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
