Gross State

Famous quotes containing the words gross and/or state:

    The gross feeder is a man in the larva state; and there are whole nations in that condition, nations without fancy or imagination, whose vast abdomens betray them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Reporters for tabloid newspapers beat a path to the park entrance each summer when the national convention of nudists is held, but the cult’s requirement that visitors disrobe is an obstacle to complete coverage of nudist news.

    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
