Southern Box

Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or box:

    How could Southern Ireland keep a bridal North in the manner to which she is accustomed?
    Terence O’Neill (1914–1990)

    It all ended with the circuslike whump of a monstrous box on the ear with which I knocked down the traitress who rolled up in a ball where she had collapsed, her eyes glistening at me through her spread fingers—all in all quite flattered, I think. Automatically, I searched for something to throw at her, saw the china sugar bowl I had given her for Easter, took the thing under my arm and went out, slamming the door.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
