It was the early 1970s and I was recently divorced. I had three kids and was totally broke. I managed to find work back east on the straw hat circuit summer stock but couldn't afford hotels, so I lived out of the back of my truck, under a hard shell Picture Quote #1

You sunburnt sicklemen, of August weary, come hither from the furrow and be merry. Make holiday: your rye straw hats put on, and these fresh nymphs encounter every one In country footing Picture Quote #1

We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more. A straw or a feather sustains itself long in the air Picture Quote #1

Through tattered clothes small vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks; Arm it in rags, a pygmy's straw does pierce it Picture Quote #1

He will lie, sir, with such volubility that you would think truth were a fool; drunkenness is his best virtue, for he will be swine drunk, and in his sleep he does little harm, save to his bedclothes about him; but they know his conditions and lay him in straw Picture Quote #1

O, what are you waiting for here? Young man! What are you looking for over the bridge? - a little straw hat with the streaming blue ribbons Is soon to come dancing over the bridge Picture Quote #1

The air conditioning in Lamborghinis used to be an asthmatic sitting in the dashboard blowing at you through a straw Picture Quote #1

You know, for most of its life bluegrass has had this stigma of being all straw hats and hay bales and not necessarily the most sophisticated form of music. Yet you can’t help responding to its honesty. It’s music that finds its way deep into your soul because it’s strings vibrating against wood and nothing else Picture Quote #1

I don’t care a straw for your newspaper articles, my constituents don’t know how to read, but they can’t help seeing them damned pictures Picture Quote #1

There is no brilliant single stroke that is going to transform the water into wine or straw into gold Picture Quote #1

After my husband died, I felt like one of those spiraled shells washed upon the beach... Poke a straw through the twisting tunnel, around and around, and there is nothing there. No flesh. No life. Whatever lived there is dried up and gone Picture Quote #1

The human mind is so complex and things are so tangled up with each other that, to explain a blade of straw, one would have to take to pieces an entire universe. A definition is a sack of flour compressed into a thimble Picture Quote #1

Smoking I find the most ridiculous of all the varieties of human behavior and practically the only one that is entirely against nature. Can you imagine a cow or any animal taking a mouthful of smoldering straw then breathing in the smoke and blowing it out through its nostrils? Picture Quote #1

I hardly think a girl is much of a threat. I presume you searched her for weapons? But if she attempts to suffocate me with her straw mattress, I promise to call out for help Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter if the glass is half full or half empty. I am gonna drink it through this crazy straw Picture Quote #1

Day after day we looked for rain, and day after day we saw nothing but the sun. Lavender that we had planted in the spring died. The patch of grass in front of the house abandoned its ambitions to become a lawn and turned into the dirty yellow of poor straw. The earth shrank, revealing its knuckles and bones, rocks and roots that had been invisible before Picture Quote #1

Private prayer is like straw scattered here and there: If you set it on fire it makes a lot of little flames. But gather these straws into a bundle and light them, and you get a mighty fire, rising like a column into the sky; public prayer is like that Picture Quote #1

When the race is ended, and the play is either won or lost, and ye are in the utmost circle and border of time, and shall put your foot within the march of eternity, all the good things of your short nightdream shall seem to you like ashes of a blaze of thorns or straw Picture Quote #1

The scene fascinated me: a round straw hat; the funnel leaning left, the stairway leaning right; the white drawbridge, its railings made of chain; white suspenders crossed on the back of a man below; circular iron machinery; a mast that cut into the sky, completing a triangle Picture Quote #1

Don’t condemn the gangbangers, they’ve got guns that are trafficked, that are not enforced, that are straw purchased and they come into places even that have strong gun laws. Why? Because we don’t have sensible gun legislation Picture Quote #1

The key to life is imagination. If you don’t have that, no mater what you have, it’s meaningless. If you do have imagination... you can make feast of straw Picture Quote #1

I believe that a revolution can begin from this one strand of straw. Seen at a glance, this rice straw may appear light and insignificant. Hardly anyone would believe that it could start a revolution. But I have come to realize the weight and power of this straw. For me, this revolution is very real Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons we think this market will start to run out of gas at some point is that you’ve essentially created as much gold from straw as you can from this financial alchemy Picture Quote #1

If thou canst walk on water, thou art no better than a straw. If thou canst fly in the air, thou art no better than a fly. Conquer thy heart that thou mayest become somebody Picture Quote #1
