Thread Count

Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or count:

    I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    I count three days
    since her beautiful lips
    touched the fine wheat
    her frail body
    disdains nourishment:
    she suffers....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
