Famous quotes containing the words thin, white and/or duke:

myself, smaller,
not thin but thinner, nervous,
who hurries without animal calm.”

““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“That very knowing,
Overflowing,
Easygoing
Paladin,
The Duke of Plaza-Toro!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
