Famous quotes containing the word tight:
“When Alexander Pope strolled in the city
Strict was the glint of pearl and gold sedans.
Ladies leaned out more out of fear than pity
For Popes tight back was rather a goats than mans.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“A really tight friendship is when you start to really care about the person. If he gets sick, you kind of start worrying about himor if he gets hit by a car. An everyday friend, you say, I know that kid, hes all right, and you dont really think much of him. But a close friend you worry about more than yourself. Well, maybe not more, but about the same.”
—Anonymous Fifteen-Year-Old Boy. As quoted in Childrens Friendships by Zick Rubin, ch. 3 (1980)
“In the tight belly of the dead
Burrow with hungry head
And inlay maggots like a jewel.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
