Famous quotes containing the words design and/or wear:
“Nowadays the host does not admit you to his hearth, but has got the mason to build one for yourself somewhere in his alley, and hospitality is the art of keeping you at the greatest distance. There is as much secrecy about the cooking as if he had a design to poison you.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I have nothing to wear tomorrow
will I live long enough
to grow up
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.”
—Audre Lorde (b. 1934)
