Ironing Quotes

“Ironing was a particularly galling waste of time. You'd spend twenty minutes pressing one shirt front and back, spraying starch and getting the creases sharp, but once the man of the house put it on, it would wrinkle as soon as he bent an elbow; plus, you couldn't even see whether the danged shirt was ironed or not under his suit coat.”
― Jeannette Walls, Half Broke Horses

“I pressed and I prayed. It was only right that pressing went with prayer. That and being sorry. Every wrinkle was a patch of sorry to be smoothed and flattened.”
― Rita Williams-Garcia, Gone Crazy in Alabama

“When ironing, visualize yourself ironing out the wrinkles in your heart.”
― Shoukei Matsumoto, A Monk’s Guide to A Clean House & Mind

“I haven't needed to iron in years because of famous American science, which gives us wash-and-wear in one test tube and nerve gas in the other. Its right test tube doesn't know what its left test tube is doing.

Oh yes, it does, says Jack.”
― Grace Paley, Later the Same Day
