Famous quotes containing the words rubber and/or chicken:
“Time for the flat-headed man. I recognize that listener,
Him with the platitudes and rubber doughnuts,
Melting at the knees, a varicose horror.
Hello, hello. My nerves knew you, dear boy.
Have you come to unhinge my shadow?”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
“A man does not automatically become a public figure because he happens to build an empire out of chicken fat.”
