City Lights Books

Famous quotes containing the words city, lights and/or books:

    I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    There in the narrow,
    mote-filled finger of light, is a blonde
    so blonde, so blinding, she is a blizzard, a huge
    spook, and lights up like the sun the audience
    in its galoshes. She bulges like a deuce coupe.
    When we see her we say good-bye to Kansas.
    Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)

    My only books Were woman’s looks And folly’s all they taught me.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
