Big Ten

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or ten:

    the small town big shot who, although very short,
    who although with a cigarette-stained mustache,
    who although famous for lobster on the rocks,
    left me here, nubkin, sucking in my vodka
    and emphysema cigarettes, unable to walk
    your walks, unable to write your writes.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Navajo men and boys have an odd way of showing their friendship. When two young men meet at the trading post, a “Sing”, or a dance they greet each other, inquire about the health of their respective families, then stand silently some ten or fifteen minutes while one feels the other’s arms, shoulders, and chest.
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
