White House Ceremony

Famous quotes containing the words white house, white, house and/or ceremony:

    I want a place where I can sit back in the rocker and say, “Do you remember when we picketed the White House in 1965?”
    Barbara Gittings (b. 1932)

    Knowing that you shall feel,
    about the frame,
    no trembling of the string
    but heat, more passionate
    of bone and the white shell
    and fiery tempered steel.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    A mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law in one house are like two cats in a bag.
    Yiddish Proverb.

    The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.
