Free Strokes

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or strokes:

“When the passage “All men are born free and equal,” when that passage was being written were not some of the signers legalised owners of slaves?”

“Made on machine,” he said, plowing the grain
With thick thumbnail to show how it ran
Across the handle’s long-drawn serpentine,
Like the two strokes across a dollar sign.”
