Rags

Famous quotes containing the word rags:

    Life is nothing but rags and tags and filthy rags at that.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    The most fitting monuments this nation can build are schoolhouses and homes for those who do the work of the world. It is no answer to say that they are accustomed to rags and hunger. In this world of plenty every human being has a right to food, clothes, decent shelter, and the rudiments of education.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Made of old rags of tongues,
    of flesh slipped through the abortionist’s knife
    you snake thing....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
