Red Imported Fire

Famous quotes containing the words red, imported and/or fire:

    Take a red book called TELEPHONE,
    size eight by four. There it sits.
    My red book, name, address and number.
    These are all people that I somehow own.
    Yet some of these names are counterfeit.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
    You may get a bland smile from these sages;
    But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
    Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    And where two raging fires meet together;
    They do consume the thing that feeds their fury.
    Though little fire grows great with little wind,
    Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
