Famous quotes containing the word pink:

    The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
    Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    I have need of night people.
    I have need to see the bum dozing
    off on scag, the women in labor
    pushing forth a pink head,
    lord I need to fly I am sick of
    rocks and sea water....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It’s no go the picture palace, it’s no go the stadium,
    It’s no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums.
    It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections,
    Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
