Famous quotes containing the words coats of, coats and/or arms:

    “creamy iridescent coats of mail,
    with small iridescent flies crawling on them.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    “... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    “Strange that so few ever come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light,—to see its perfect success; but most are content to behold it in the shape of many broad boards brought to market, and deem that its true success! But the pine is no more lumber than man is, and to be made into boards and houses is no more its true and highest use than the truest use of a man is to be cut down and made into manure.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
