Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or strokes:

“I want people to be sincere; a man of honor shouldn’t speak a single word that doesn’t come straight from his heart.”

“Made on machine,” he said, plowing the grain
With thick thumbnail to show how it ran
Across the handle’s long-drawn serpentine,
Like the two strokes across a dollar sign.”
