Elwyn Brooks

Famous quotes containing the words elwyn brooks and/or brooks:

    The total collapse of the public opinion polls shows that this country is in good health. A country that developed an airtight system of finding out in advance what was in people’s minds would be uninhabitable.

    And silence her six
    And mix
    Her spices and core
    And slice her apples, and find her four.
    Continuing her part
    Of the world’s business.
