Famous quotes containing the words secret, storm and/or dick:

    Freedom’s secret wilt thou know?—
    Counsel not with flesh and blood;
    Loiter not for cloak or food;
    Right thou feelest, rush to do.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And true, they are hurling spittle, rock,
    Garbage and fruit in Little Rock.
    And I saw coiling storm a-writhe
    On bright madonnas. And a scythe
    Of men harassing brownish girls.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error of judgment.
    —Philip K. Dick (1928–1982)
