Hook Lengths

Famous quotes containing the words hook and/or lengths:

“A hook shot kisses the rim and
hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop

and for once our gangly starting center
boxes out his man and times his jump

perfectly, gathering the orange leather
from the air like a cherished possession”
—Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)

“There seems to be no lengths to which humorless people will not go to analyze humor. It seems to worry them.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
