Boots

Famous quotes containing the word boots:

    In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness rather than a garden. But, alack! what boots it to drop tears upon the preterit?
    Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898)

    Where are his boots?... Put his boots on, Klute, and his gunbelt and his spurs.
    Willis Goldbeck (1900–1979)

    Boots and shoes are the greatest trouble of my life. Everything else one can turn and turn about, and make old look like new; but there’s no coaxing boots and shoes to look better than they are.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
