« All quotes from this author
 

I remember her standing in the tall grass and cattails
Away from the windows at the end of the day.
Watching the men from the landing in the tall hats & coat-tails.
She'd never look different, but something would change.
--
A Mind with a Heart of Its Own, written with Jeff Lynne

All along the backwater,
Through the rushes tall,
Ducks are a-dabbling,
Up tails all!

 
Kenneth Grahame
 

You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims.

 
Harriett Woods
 

Tall windows show Infinity;
And, hard reality,
The candles weep and pry and dance
Like lives mocked at by Chance.

 
Edith Sitwell
 

Without the heroic, man has no meaning; without the economic, he has no sense. Economic man is most likely to be economic woman — a good wife, pulling the coat tails of her heroic husband, checking his extravagances of speech and action with words of caution and good sense. But without the heroic coat tails to pull, life for both of them would be dull and savorless indeed.

 
Kenneth Boulding
 

These worst mornings with cold floors and hot windows and merciless light—the soul’s certainty that the day will have to be not traversed but sort of climbed, vertically, and then that going to sleep again at the end of it will be like falling, again, off something tall and sheer.
