Famous quotes containing the word siamese:

    Your rat tail is all the fashion now. I prefer a bushy plume, carried straight up. You are Siamese and your ancestors lived in trees. Mine lived in palaces. It has been suggested to me that I am a bit of a snob. How true! I prefer to be.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Constant togetherness is fine—but only for Siamese twins.
    Victoria Billings (b. 1945)
