Red Imported Fire

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

    Property as compared with humanity, as compared with the red blood in the American people, must take second place, not first place.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    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)

    Oh! that thy love might overflow my Heart!
    To fire the same with Love: for Love I would.
    But oh! my streight’ned Breast! my Lifeless Sparke!
    My Fireless Flame! What Chilly Love, and Cold?
    In measure small! In Manner Chilly! See!
    Lord, blow the Coal: Thy Love Enflame in mee.
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
