The Main Straight

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or straight:

“I am a Communist, a convinced Communist! For some that may be a fantasy. But to me it is my main goal.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)

“Expecting me to grovel,
she carefully covers both feet
with the hem of her skirt.
She pretends to hide
a coming smile
and won’t look straight at me.
When I talk to her,
she chats with her friend
in cross tones.
Even this slim girl’s rising anger
delights me,
let alone her deep love.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
