Famous quotes containing the words blowing and/or rock:

    “The wind of change is blowing through the continent. Whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact.”
    —Harold MacMillan (1894–1986)

    “Nobody dast blame this man.... For a salesman, there is no rock bottom to the life. He don’t put a bolt to a nut, he don’t tell you the law or give you medicine. He’s a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine. And when they start not smiling back—that’s an earthquake. And then you get yourself a couple of spots on your hat, and you’re finished. Nobody dast blame this man. A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territory.”
    —Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
