Famous quotes containing the words june, carter and/or cash:

    In June the bush we call
    alder was heavy, listless,
    its leaves studded with galls,
    growing wherever we didn’t
    want it.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    F.R. Leavis’s “eat up your broccoli” approach to fiction emphasises this junkfood/wholefood dichotomy. If reading a novel—for the eighteenth century reader, the most frivolous of diversions—did not, by the middle of the twentieth century, make you a better person in some way, then you might as well flush the offending volume down the toilet, which was by far the best place for the undigested excreta of dubious nourishment.
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Lora May: I’ve been a good wife. The best wife your money could buy.
    Porter: Strictly cash and carry.
    Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
