Roof Opened

Famous quotes containing the words roof and/or opened:

    Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.
    Richard B. Stolley (20th century)

    we do not explain my husband’s insane abuse
    and we do not say why your wild-haired wife has fled
    or that my father opened like a walnut and then was dead.
    Your palms fold over me like knees. Love is the only use.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
