Knocking

Famous quotes containing the word knocking:

    The man who does not betake himself at once and desperately to sawing is called a loafer, though he may be knocking at the doors of heaven all the while.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But I died yesterday,
    “Daddy,” I died,
    swallowing the Nazi-Jap-animal
    and it won’t get out
    it keeps knocking at my eyes,
    my big orphan eyes....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The knocking out of a pipe can be made almost as important as the smoking of it, especially if there are nervous people in the room. A good, smart knock of a pipe against a tin wastebasket and you will have a neurasthenic out of his chair and into the window sash in no time.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
