Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:

    He says the waves in the ship’s wake
    are like stones rolling away.
    I don’t see it that way.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers; and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn’t care no more about him; because I don’t take no stock in dead people.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
