Famous quotes containing the words bottle and/or tree:

    The last time I saw a head like that was in a bottle of formaldehyde.
    Robert Pirosh, U.S. screenwriter, George Seaton, George Oppenheimer, and Sam Wood. Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush (Groucho Marx)

    I said I had the tree. It wasn’t true.
    The opposite was true. The tree had me.
    The minute it was left with me alone,
    It caught me up as if I were the fish
    And it the fishpole.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
