Famous quotes containing the words beat and/or hotel:

    “What should we speak of
    When we are old as you? When we shall hear
    The rain and wind beat dark December, how,
    In this our pinching cave, shall we discourse
    The freezing hours away?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “They all see you when you least suspect.
    Out flat in your p.j.’s glowering at T.V.
    or at the oven gassing the cat
    or at the Hotel 69 head to knee.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
