Red Fire Unit

Famous quotes containing the words red, fire and/or unit:

    He was as bald as a hump.
    His ears stuck out like teacups
    and his tongue, my God, his tongue,
    like a red worm and when he kissed
    it crawled right in.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    And new Philosophy calls all in doubt,
    The element of fire is quite put out;
    The Sun is lost, and th’earth, and no mans wit
    Can well direct him where to look for it.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
