Side Split Sit

Famous quotes containing the words side, split and/or sit:

    Deliberation. The act of examining one’s bread to determine which side it is buttered on.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    Oh! it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow, tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I want to celebrate these elms which have been spared by the plague, these survivors of a once flourishing tribe commemorated by all the Elm Streets in America. But to celebrate them is to be silent about the people who sit and sleep underneath them, the homeless poor who are hauled away by the city like trash, except it has no place to dump them. To speak of one thing is to suppress another.
    Lisel Mueller (b. 1924)
