Pure State

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or state:

“I’m telling the truth.
I’m standing at death’s door
and even today
my sight falls
on that thicket
on the Tpt’s pure banks,
just as before.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.””
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
