Wash

Famous quotes containing the word wash:

    We have to learn how to come out of unclean situations cleaner than we were, and even how to wash ourselves with dirty water when we need to.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    [When asked: “If women voted, would they not have to sit on juries?”:] Many women would be glad of a chance to sit on anything. There are women who stand up and wash six days in the week at 75 cents a day who would like to take a vacation and sit on a jury at $1.50.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    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)
