Year Itch

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or itch:

    For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 23:10,11.

    Grandpa: Penny, why don’t you write a play about ism-mania?
    Penny: Ism-mania?
    Grandpa: Yeah, sure. You know, communism, fascism, voodooism. Everybody’s got an ism these days.
    Penny: It sounds like an itch or something.
    Grandpa: It’s just as catching. When things go a little bad these days, you go out and get yourself an ism and you’re in business.
    Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
