Tight Ends

Famous quotes containing the words tight and/or ends:

“Stiff springy jumps down the snowfields
Head held back, forefeet out,
Balls tight in a tough hair sack”

“Great Negative, how vainly would the Wise
Enquire, define, distinguish, teach, devise,
Didst thou not stand to point their dull Philosophies?
Is, or is not, the two great Ends of Fate,
And, true or false, the Subject of Debate,
That perfect, or destroy, the vast Designs of Fate,”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1909–1969)
