Familiar

Famous quotes containing the word familiar:

“At it in its familiar twang: “My friend,
Cut your own throat. Cut your own throat. Now! Now!”

Cracks with the unpicked apples, and at dawn
The small-mouth bass breaks water, gorged with spawn.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

“Where everything is possible miracles become commonplaces, but the familiar ceases to be self-evident.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
