Wide Rings

Famous quotes containing the words wide and/or rings:

Wider and not too wide, as a dish in space
Is excellent, conforming to demands
Not yet formulated.”

“It is told that some divorcees, elated by their freedom, pause on leaving the courthouse to kiss a front pillar, or even walk to the Truckee to hurl their wedding rings into the river; but boys who recover the rings declare they are of the dime-store variety, and accuse the throwers of fraudulent practices.”
