Older Brothers

Famous quotes containing the words older and/or brothers:

    Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Oh tell her I lie in Kirk-land fair,
    And home shall never come.”
