Famous quotes containing the words stick and/or tops:
“Yet to speak of the whole world as metaphor

It is to stick to the nicer knowledge of
Belief, that what it believes in is not true.”

Yes, his white-on-white shirt and tie were luminous.
His trousers were creased like knives to the tops of his shoes
And his yellow straw hat came down to his dark glasses.”
—David Wagoner (b. 1926)
