Famous quotes containing the words street, fighting and/or man:
“There was an Old Man who supposed,
That the street door was partially closed;”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
“You listen to artists fighting with each other, competing to the death like gladiators, in order to see who is going to get into a show, who is going to make it, who isn’t: who is going to get a full-page ad and who is going to get a half-page. Then I think, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to go off somewhere and just do your work?””
—Howardena Pindell (b. 1943)
“Yet is every man his own greatest enemy, and as it were his own executioner.”
—Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
