Rock Rose

Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or rose:

    Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.
    Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)

    Captain Carpenter rose up in his prime
    Put on his pistols and went riding out
    But had got wellnigh nowhere at that time
    Till he fell in with ladies in a rout.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
