Gum Line

Famous quotes containing the words gum and/or line:

    The hunchback on the corner, with gum and shoelaces,
    Has his own wisdom and pleasures,
    Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)

    It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
