Thin Red

Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or red:

    “I remember how they picked me up, a spindly kid,

    Till I lay in their laps, laughing,
    Weak as a whiffet;”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    “Now wait a minute. You listen to me. I’m an advertising man, not a red herring. I’ve got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex- wives, and several bartenders dependent on me. And I don’t intend to disappoint them all by getting myself slightly killed.”
    —Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
