Famous quotes containing the words banana and/or slug:

    I never liked bananas much anyway. Two-thirds of the way down even one banana I am willing to concede defeat smilingly and give the rest to the nearest monkey.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    Adrift dissolving, bound for death;
    Though lumpish thou, a lumbering one—
    A lumbering lubbard loitering slow,
    Impingers rue thee and go down,
    Sounding thy precipice below,
    Nor stir the slimy slug that sprawls
    Along thy dead indifference of walls.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
