Rear Hand

Famous quotes containing the words rear and/or hand:

“You do not come dramatically, with dragons
That rear up with my life between their paws”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“While you’re playing cards with a regular guy or having a bite to eat with him, he seems a peaceable, good-humoured and not entirely dense person. But just begin a conversation with him about something inedible, politics or science, for instance, and he ends up in a deadend or starts in on such an obtuse and base philosophy that you can only wave your hand and leave.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
