Famous quotes containing the words baker and/or street:

    OUR WORLD IS TOPPLING. AFFECTIONATELY YOURS.
    —Josephine Baker (1906–1975)

    A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.
    George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
