Famous quotes containing the word barney:
“Many’s the time I’ve seen Barney go off, just that same way. Goodbye. Sometimes he’d wave. Ten to one he wasn’t even seein’ me. He was thinkin’ about all those men, you see. All those men who went out to fight, to kill, be killed. And blast his eyes, lovin’ it.”
—Lamar Trotti (1898–1952)
