Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:
“I can sit up half the night
With some friend that has the wit
Not to allow his looks to tell
When I am unintelligible.
Fifteen apparitions have I seen;
The worst a coat upon a coat-hanger.”

“Now you know Danton: in a few hours he will fall asleep in the arms of glory.”
