China Morning Post

Famous quotes containing the words china, morning and/or post:

    Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve, I’ve dreamed of havin’ my own things about me. My spinet over there and a table here. My own chairs to rest upon and a dresser over there in that corner, and my own china and pewter shinin’ about me.
    Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    At the piano, scales, arpeggios
    And chords, the morning exercises,
    The afternoon’s reading, the night’s reflection,
    That’s how to produce a virtuoso.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)
