Famous quotes containing the word allen:

    I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
    I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
    And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard,
    It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
