Famous quotes containing the words sunshine and/or state:

    “Hemingway is great in that alone of living writers he has saturated his work with the memory of physical pleasure, with sunshine and salt water, with food, wine and making love and the remorse which is the shadow of that sun.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “Just across the Green from the post office is the county jail, seldom occupied except by some backwoodsman who has been intemperate; the courthouse is under the same roof. The dog warden usually basks in the sunlight near the harness store or the post office, his golden badge polished bright.”
    —Administration for the State of Con, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
