Trunk Lines

Famous quotes containing the words trunk and/or lines:

    That trunk of humors, that bolting-hutch of beastliness, that
    swollen parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that
    stuffed cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with
    the pudding in his belly.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    [Children] do not yet lie to themselves and therefore have not entered upon that important tacit agreement which marks admission into the adult world, to wit, that I will respect your lies if you will agree to let mine alone. That unwritten contract is one of the clear dividing lines between the world of childhood and the world of adulthood.
    Leontine Young (20th century)
