Famous quotes containing the word hole:
“The more supple vagabond, too, is sure to appear on the least rumor of such a gathering, and the next day to disappear, and go into his hole like the seventeen-year locust, in an ever-shabby coat, though finer than the farmer’s best, yet never dressed.... He especially is the creature of the occasion. He empties both his pockets and his character into the stream, and swims in such a day. He dearly loves the social slush. There is no reserve of soberness in him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In this hole your baby is strangling. Your mouth is clay.
Your eyes are made of glass. They break. You are not brave.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“never dare entrust them to a safe
For fear they burn a hole through two-foot steel.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
