Famous quotes containing the words washington and/or street:

    Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    And in these dark cells,
    packed street after street,
    souls live, hideous yet
    O disfigured, defaced,
    with no trace of the beauty
    men once held so light.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
