Famous quotes containing the word rock:
“Men are afraid to rock the boat in which they hope to drift safely through life’s currents, when, actually, the boat is stuck on a sandbar. They would be better off to rock the boat and try to shake it loose, or, better still, jump in the water and swim for the shore.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll but I like it.”
—Mick Jagger (b. 1943)
