Stuck

Famous quotes containing the word stuck:

    “Darling,
    will you come home today
    after a few hours,
    or at noon,
    or a little later,
    or when the whole day’s passed?”
    A young wife
    with tearful words stuck in her throat
    spoils the departure of her man
    who wishes to go to a land
    that takes a hundred days
    to reach.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    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)

    Suspicion all our lives shall be stuck full of eyes;
    Treason is but trusted like the fox,
    Who never so tame, so cherished and locked up,
    Will have a wild trick of his ancestors.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
