Famous quotes containing the words shoulder and/or straps:
“Id better get right down to the job.
Its true I dont want to join the Army or turn lathes in
precision parts factories, Im nearsighted and psychopathic anyway.
America Im putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“A solitary traveler whom we saw perambulating in the distance loomed like a giant. He appeared to walk slouchingly, as if held up from above by straps under his shoulders, as much as supported by the plain below. Men and boys would have appeared alike at a little distance, there being no object by which to measure them. Indeed, to an inlander, the Cape landscape is a constant mirage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
