Stuck

Famous quotes containing the word stuck:

    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)

    He doesn’t want you for friends, that’s why he did it. You see, when guys have been in the line as long as we have, you find out it’s no good to make friends, ‘cause when a friend gets it—well, it’s rough on you. The buddies that come with you you’re stuck with, but you don’t make no new ones. It’s the dyin’ truth.
    Gil Doud, U.S. screenwriter, and Jessie Hibbs. Johnson (Marshall Thompson)

    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)
