Rag

Famous quotes containing the word rag:

    New York is a woman
    holding, according to history,
    a rag called liberty with one hand
    and strangling the earth with the other.
    Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)

    He seems like an average type of man. He’s not, like smart. I’m not trying to rag on him or anything. But he has the same mentality I have—and I’m in the eighth grade.
    Vanessa Martinez (b. c. 1978)

    ... a friend told me that she had read of a woman who had knitted a wash rag for President Wilson. She was eighty years old and her friends thought it remarkable that she could knit a wash rag! I thought that if a woman of eighty could knit a wash rage for a Democratic President it behooved one of ninety-six to make something more than a wash rag for a Republican President.
    Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)
