Hard Hats

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or hats:

    Going down for the last time, the last breath lying,
    I grapple with eels like ropes—it’s ether, it’s queer
    and then, at last, it’s done. Now the scavengers arrive,
    the hard crawlers who come to clean up the ocean floor.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    There are several natural phenomena which I shall have to have explained to me before I can keep on going as a resident member of the human race. One is the metamorphosis which hats and suits undergo exactly one week after their purchase, whereby they are changed from smart, intensely becoming articles of apparel into something children use when they want to “dress up like daddy.”
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
