Double Neck

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or neck:

    Well, I had gone and spoiled it again, made another mistake. A double one in fact. There were plenty of ways to get rid of that officer by some simple and plausible device, but no, I must pick out a picturesque one; it is the crying defect of my character.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    The wisdom of history, how she takes
    Each epoch by the neck and, growling, shakes
    It like a rat while she faintly mews.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
