Pink Panther Strikes

Famous quotes containing the words pink and/or strikes:

    Among the pink and blue
    Of the sky and the almond flowers
    A sparrow flutters.
    MWe have come through.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    What strikes me as odd now is how much my father managed to get across to me without those heart-to-hearts which I’ve read about fathers and sons having in the study or in the rowboat or in the car.... Somehow I understood completely how he expected me to behave, in small matters as well as large, even though I can’t remember being given any lectures about it beyond the occasional, undramatic “You might as well be a mensch.”
    Calvin Trillin (20th century)
