Pine Bluff

Famous quotes containing the words pine and/or bluff:

“For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)

“When people are taken out of their depths they lose their heads, no matter how charming a bluff they may put up.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
