Steel Sit

Famous quotes containing the words steel and/or sit:

    The colored people arrive, sit firmly down,
    Eat their Express Spaghetti, their T-bone steak,
    Handling their steel and crockery with no clatter,
    Laugh punily, rise, go firmly out of the door.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Here I sit down to form characters. One I intend to be all goodness; All goodness he is. Another I intend to be all gravity; All gravity he is. Another Lady Gish; All Lady Gish she is. I am all the while absorbed in the character. It is not fair to say—I, identically I, am anywhere, while I keep within the character.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
