Wearing American Uniforms

Famous quotes containing the words wearing, american and/or uniforms:

    To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.
    Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)

    Every American poet feels that the whole responsibility for contemporary poetry has fallen upon his shoulders, that he is a literary aristocracy of one.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    I place these numbed wrists to the pane
    watching white uniforms whisk over
    him in the tube-kept
    prison
    fear what they will do in experiment
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
