Word Cowboy

Famous quotes containing the words word and/or cowboy:

“Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

“The cowboy ... is well on his way to becoming a figure of magnificent proportions. Bowlegged and gaunt, he stands as the apotheosis of manly perfection. Songs, novels, movies, magazines, and operettas have made the least inquiring of us well acquainted with his extraordinary courage, unfailing gallantry, and uncanny skill with gun or lariat. The farmer, meanwhile, sits stolidly on his tractor, bereft of romance and adventure.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
