Wash

Famous quotes containing the word wash:

    “... a friend told me that she had read of a woman who had knitted a wash rag for President Wilson. She was eighty years old and her friends thought it remarkable that she could knit a wash rag! I thought that if a woman of eighty could knit a wash rage for a Democratic President it behooved one of ninety-six to make something more than a wash rag for a Republican President.”
    —Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)

    “by noon
    the whole city in all its corruption,
    all its shed blood the monsoon cannot wash away,
    has become a temple,
    fragile, insolent, absolute.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Yet for all that, there is nothing in me of a founder of a religion—religions are affairs of the rabble; I find it necessary to wash my hands after I have come into contact with religious people.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
