Red Imported Fire

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

    And out of her bosom there grew a red rose
    And out of Lord Lovel’s a briar, briar, briar,
    And out of Lord Lovel’s a briar.
    Unknown. Lord Lovel (l. 38–40)

    Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one’s privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme. For example, men could be imported from the developing countries, many parts of which are suffering from a man excess, at least in relation to local food supply.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    Gradually I regained my usual composure. I reread Pale Fire more carefully. I liked it better when expecting less. And what was that? What was that dim distant music, those vestiges of color in the air? Here and there I discovered in it and especially, especially in the invaluable variants, echoes and spangles of my mind, a long ripplewake of my glory.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
