Hundreds

Famous quotes containing the word hundreds:

    Worn down by the hoofs of millions of half-wild Texas cattle driven along it to the railheads in Kansas, the trail was a bare, brown, dusty strip hundreds of miles long, lined with the bleaching bones of longhorns and cow ponies. Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.

    Geroge Peatty: I’m gonna have it, Sherry. Hundreds of thousands, maybe a half million.
    Sherry Peatty: Of course you are, darling. Did you put the right address on the envelope when you sent it to the North Pole?
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    ... here hundreds sit and play Bingo; here the bright lights of Broadway burn through a sea haze; here Somebodies tumble over other Somebodies and over Nobodies as well.
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
