Famous quotes containing the words swiss and/or alps:

    “You know there’s only two things more beautiful than a good gun—a Swiss watch or a woman from anywhere.”
    —Borden Chase [Frank Fowler] (1900–1971)

    “But can see better there, and laughing there
    Pity the giants wallowing on the plain.
    ...
    Pygmies expand in cold impossible air,
    Cry fie on the giantshine, poor glory which
    Pounds breast-bone punily, screeches, and has
    Reached no Alps: or, knows no Alps to reach.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
