Mixed Ersatz Brigade

Famous quotes containing the words mixed, ersatz and/or brigade:

    Those graceful acts,
    Those thousand decencies, that daily flow
    From all her words and actions, mixed with love
    And sweet compliance, which declare unfeigned
    Union of mind, or in us both one soul.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    How, in one short century, has this ersatz sport so strangled the consciousness of the country in the grip of its flabby tentacles that the mention of women’s baseball gets no reaction other than blank amazement?
    Darlene Mehrer, As quoted in Women in Baseball. Ch. 6, by Gai Ingham Berlage (1994)

    [John] Brough’s majority is “glorious to behold.” It is worth a big victory in the field. It is decisive as to the disposition of the people to prosecute the war to the end. My regiment and brigade were both unanimous for Brough [the Union party candidate for governor of Ohio].
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
