Famous quotes containing the words pinch, hit, home and/or runs:
“There cannot be a pinch in death
More sharp than this is.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A really tight friendship is when you start to really care about the person. If he gets sick, you kind of start worrying about him—or if he gets hit by a car. An everyday friend, you say, I know that kid, he’s all right, and you don’t really think much of him. But a close friend you worry about more than yourself. Well, maybe not more, but about the same.”
—Anonymous Fifteen-Year-Old Boy. As quoted in Children’s Friendships by Zick Rubin, ch. 3 (1980)
“Cedar: Now would you tell the court what everybody at home thinks of Longfellow Deeds?
Jane Faulkner: They think he’s pixilated.
Amy Faulkner: Oh, yes. Pixilated.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“Some say existence like a Pirouot
And Pirouette, forever in one place,
Stands still and dances, but it runs away;
It seriously, sadly, runs away
To fill the abyss’s void with emptiness.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
