Burst

Famous quotes containing the word burst:

    Chipmunks jump, and
    Greensnakes slither.
    Rather burst than
    Not be with her.
    Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamor
    With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour
    Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast
    Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    I pray we are still a young and courageous nation, that we have not grown so old and so fat and so prosperous that all we can think about is to sit back with our arms around our money bags. If we choose to do that I have no doubt that the smoldering fires will burst into flame and consume us—dollars and all.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
