Shake

Famous quotes containing the word shake:

    “Mind not the old man beseeching the young man;
    Let not the child’s voice be heard, nor the mother’s entreaties;
    Make even the trestles to shake the dead, where they lie awaiting
    the hearses,
    So strong you thump, O terrible drums—so loud you bugles blow.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “No gray hairs streak my soul,
    no grandfatherly fondness there!
    I shake the world with the might of my voice,
    and walk—handsome,
    twentytwoyearold.”
    —Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    “If we shake hands with icy fingers, it is because we’ve burnt them so hatefully before.”
    —Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
