Famous quotes containing the words jack and/or johnson:

    “Just we two
    Darby and Joan, who used to be Jack and Jill.”
    —Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)

    “Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
