Famous quotes containing the words frankie and/or boyle:

    Frankie and Johnny were lovers, O lordy how they could love,
    Swore to be true to each other, true as the stars above;
    He was her man but he done her wrong.
    —Unknown. Frankie and Johnny (l. 1–3)

    Logic, reason, disease, and the menace of death, these things meant nothing at all to us. We were committed to other values by which the poet has always lived in defiance of all that society demanded of him.
    —Kay Boyle (1903–1993)
