Famous quotes containing the word nuts:
“When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
When our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
Come live, and be merry, and join with me
To sing the sweet chorus of ‘Ha, ha, he!’”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“You mean those nuts that burn their bras and walk around all disheveled and hate men? They’re crazy. Crazy.”

“The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.”
