Famous quotes containing the words hit, songs and/or ruby:

    “Carlyle’s humor is vigorous and titanic, and has more sense in it than the sober philosophy of many another. It is not to be disposed of by laughter and smiles merely; it gets to be too serious for that: only they may laugh who are not hit by it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me;
    Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree:
    Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet;
    And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget.”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    “It is better to be looked over than overlooked.”
    —Mae West, U.S. actor, screenwriter, and Leo McCarey. Ruby Carter (Mae West)
