Famous quotes containing the words pee, wee and/or reese:
“When writers meet they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B’s. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B, if yes, then all is well. The only other way for writers to meet is to share a quick pee over a common lamp-post.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“Sudden the wee Elf
Smiled a wee smile,
Tugged till the toadstool
Toppled in two.
Holding it over him
Gaily he flew.”
—Oliver Herford (1863–1935)
“I wonder at the idleness of tears.”
—Lizette Woodworth Reese (1856–1935)
