Nash

Famous quotes containing the word nash:

    One thing that literature would be greatly the better for
    Would be a more restricted employment by authors of simile and
    metaphor.
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    Whether elected or appointed
    He considers himself the Lord’s annointed,
    And indeed the ointment lingers on him
    So thick you can’t get your fingers on him.
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    Being a father
    Is quite a bother . . .
    You improve them mentally
    And straighten them dentally, . . .
    They’re no longer corralable
    Once they find that you’re fallible . . .
    But after you’ve raised them and educated them and
    gowned them,
    They just take their little fingers and wrap you around
    them.
    Being a father
    Is quite a bother,
    But I like it, rather.
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
