Famous quotes containing the words red and/or cross:
“Poverty was an ornament on a learned man like a red ribbon on a white horse.”
—Anzia Yezierska (c. 1881–1970)
“Expecting me to grovel,
she carefully covers both feet
with the hem of her skirt.
She pretends to hide
a coming smile
and won’t look straight at me.
When I talk to her,
she chats with her friend
in cross tones.
Even this slim girl’s rising anger
delights me,
let alone her deep love.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
