Famous quotes containing the words mill, valley and/or public:
“First a shiver, and then a thrill,
Then something decidedly like a spill,
And the parson was sitting up on a rock,
At half-past nine by the meetn-house clock,
Just the hour of the Earthquake shock!
MWhat do you think the parson found,
When he got up and stared around?
The poor old chaise in a heap or mound,
As if it had been to the mill and ground!”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (18091894)
“I see before me now a traveling army halting,
Below a fertile valley spread, with barns and the orchards of summer,
Behind, the terraced sides of a mountain, abrupt, in places rising high,”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
“Kirsten: So youre the new public relations man.
Joe: Yeah.
Kirsten: What happened to Eddie?
Joe: Eddie quit.
Kirsten: I liked him. Whyd he quit?
Joe: Well, a little matter of personal integrity. Eddie didnt feel that getting dates for potentates was part of public relations.
Kirsten: But isnt it?
Joe: Well, theres a name for it but its not public relations.”
—J.P. (James Pinckney)
