Famous quotes containing the words monty python, monty, live and/or lane:

    Some things in life are bad
    They can really make you mad
    Other things just make you swear and curse
    When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
    Don’t grumble, give a whistle
    And this’ll help turn things out for the best ...
    And ... always look on the bright side of life.
    Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Mr. Frisbee III (Eric Idle)

    This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It’s a stiff!... THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!
    Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Monty Python’s Flying Circus (TV series)

    old Death, dusty
    gardener, are you
    alive yet, do I live on
    yet, in your gray
    considering eye?
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The prairies were dust. Day after day, summer after summer, the scorching winds blew the dust and the sun was brassy in a yellow sky. Crop after crop failed. Again and again the barren land must be mortgaged for taxes and food and next year’s seed. The agony of hope ended when there was not harvest and no more credit, no money to pay interest and taxes; the banker took the land. Then the bank failed.
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
