Sheet

Famous quotes containing the word sheet:

    “There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.”
    —Auguste Rodin (1849–1917)

    “And he was

    there in the hall, flat on a sheet of blood that
    ran down the stairs. I did appreciate it. There are few
    hosts who so thoroughly prepare to greet a guest
    only casually invited, and that several months ago.”
    —Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    “Some days your hat’s off to the full-time mothers for being able to endure the relentless routine and incessant policing seven days a week instead of two. But on other days, merely the image of this woman crafting a brontosaurus out of sugar paste and sheet cake for her two-year-old’s birthday drives a stake through your heart.”
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
