Tortoise Shells

Famous quotes containing the words tortoise and/or shells:

    Deathlessness should be arrived at in a ... haphazard fashion. Loving fame as much as any man, we shall carve our initials in the shell of a tortoise and turn him loose in a peat bog.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    We are going to pull out the plug. We have reached the point where shells do not hurt us any more.
