Left Field Wall

Famous quotes containing the words left, field and/or wall:

    He was last seen flying to New York.
    He was handing out cards which read:
    “He wears a question in his left eye.
    He dislikes the police but will associate with them.
    He will demand something not on the menu.
    He is invisible to the eyes of beauty and culture....”
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The little toy dog is covered with dust,
    But sturdy and stanch he stands;
    And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
    And the musket moulds in his hands.
    Time was when the little toy dog was new,
    And the soldier was passing fair;
    And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
    Kissed them and put them there.
    —Eugene Field (1850–1895)

    When all this is over, you know what I’m going to do? I’m gonna get married, gonna have about six kids. I’ll line ‘em up against the wall and tell them what it was like here in Burma. If they don’t cry, I’ll beat the hell out of ‘em.
    Samuel Fuller, U.S. screenwriter, and Milton Sperling. Samuel Fuller. Barney, Merrill’s Marauders (1962)
