Famous quotes containing the words snow and/or troupe:
“Like snow having second thoughts and coming back
To be wary about this, to embellish that, as though life were a party
At which work got done.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
