Famous quotes containing the words air and/or pistol:
“A hook shot kisses the rim and
hangs there, helplessly, but doesnt drop
and for once our gangly starting center
boxes out his man and times his jump
perfectly, gathering the orange leather
from the air like a cherished possession”
—Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)
“Johnson did not answer ...; but talking for victory and determined to be master of the field, he had recourse to the device which Goldsmith imputed to him in the witty words of one of Cibbers comedies. There is no arguing with Johnson; for when his pistol misses fire, he knocks you down with the butt end of it.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
