Retractable Hard Top

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or top:

    “All I have to do
    is hear his name
    and every hair on my body
    just bristles with desire.
    When I see
    the moon of his face,
    this frame of mine
    oozes sweat like a moonstone.
    When that man
    as dear to me as breath
    steps close enough to me
    to stroke my neck,
    the thought of jealousy
    is shattered in my heart
    that’s hard as diamond
    sometimes.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “That’s how the Germans are.... The aristocrats at the top hard as glass, cold as ice, servants of the King, the working masses willing, pliable, sentimental, susceptible to brutality, the middle class educated and cowardly to the point of servility.”
    —Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
