Famous quotes containing the words club and/or figures:

    “Please accept my resignation. I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.”
    —Groucho Marx (1895–1977)

    “But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
    With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
    people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
