Blowing

Famous quotes containing the word blowing:

    Many Americans imagine simpler times even as a storm of social change swirls about, blowing parents here and children there. Sure, the 1950s ideal world would be wonderful. But knock on the nation’s doors: Ozzie and Harriet are seldom at home.
    Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)

    But the word Miracle, as pronounced by Christian churches, gives a false impression; it is Monster. It is not one with the blowing clover and falling rain.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Hope, politeness, the blowing of a nose, the squeak of a boot, all produce “boum.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
