Port Act

Famous quotes containing the words port and/or act:

“When we think back to our forefathers, with their sedentary lives of forest-chopping, railroad-building, fortune-founding, their fox-hunting and Indian taming, their prancing about in the mazurka and the polka, with their coattails flying and their bustles bouncing, to say nothing of their all-day sessions with the port and straight bourbon,... we must realize that we are a nation, not of neurasthenics, but of sissies and slow-motion sports.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

“Buttons: Clowns are funny people, Holly. They only love once.
Holly: All men aren’t like that, even if they act like clowns.”
—Fredric M. Frank (1911–1977)
