Famous quotes containing the words arm and/or leg:
“I dreamed of an out-thrust arm of land
Where gulls blew over a wave
That fell along miles of sand....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Farmers in overalls and wide-brimmed straw hats lounge about the store on hot summer days, when the most common sound is the thump-thump-thump of a hound’s leg on the floor as he scratches contentedly. Oldtime hunters say that fleas are a hound’s salvation: his constant twisting and clawing in pursuit of the tormentors keeps his joints supple.”
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
