Man Standing

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or standing:

    Why the ghosts of poor old dead Romans should be dragged in every time a man eats an oyster, I don’t see. We’re as fine specimens as they were. I swear I shan’t let any old turned-to-clay Lucullus outlive me, even if I’ve never eaten a lamprey.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Heaven froze above, severe; the clouds congeal,
    And through the crystal vault appeared the standing hail.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
