Famous quotes containing the words rough and/or trade:

    “What we have found in this country, and maybe we’re more aware of it now, is one problem that we’ve had, even in the best of times, and that is the people who are sleeping on the grates, the homeless, you might say, by choice.
    I am my brother’s keeper, and he’s sleeping pretty rough these days.”
    —Derek, Archbishop Worlock (b. 1920)

    “My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whisky.”
    —William Faulkner (1897–1962)
