Famous quotes containing the word bum:
“What is this that roareth thus?

Contra hos Motores Bos!”

“I walked by the Union Square Bar, I was gonna go in. And I saw myself, my reflection in the window. And I thought, I wonder who that bum is. And then I saw it was me. Now look at me, Im a bum. Look at me. Look at you. Youre a bum.”
—J.P. (James Pinckney)
“Every one of my friends had a bad day somewhere in her history she wished she could forget but couldnt. A very bad mother day changes you forever. Those were the hardest stories to tell. . . . I could still see the red imprint of his little bum when I changed his diaper that night. I stared at my hand, as if they were alien parts of myself . . . as if they had betrayed me. From that day on, I never hit him again.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
