Stuck

Famous quotes containing the word stuck:

    Men are afraid to rock the boat in which they hope to drift safely through life’s currents, when, actually, the boat is stuck on a sandbar. They would be better off to rock the boat and try to shake it loose, or, better still, jump in the water and swim for the shore.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    Here lies I and my three daughters,
    Killed by drinking the Cheltenham waters.
    If we had stuck to our Epsom salts
    We’d not be lying in these vaults.
    —Anonymous. From H. J. Loaring’s Curious Records (1872)

    Al: Ain’t you gonna look back, Ma? Give the old place a last look?
    Ma Joad: We’re goin’ to California, ain’t we? Alright then, let’s go to California.
    Al: That don’t sound like you, Ma. You never was like that before.
    Ma Joad: I never had my house pushed over before. Never had my family stuck out on the road. I never had to lose everything I had in life.
    Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)
