Famous quotes containing the words fork, state and/or park:
“Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”

Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,

to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
