Famous quotes containing the word pull:
“the pull of gravity, which is not simple
which carries the feathered grass a long way down the upbreathing
air.”

opening and closing on their coins,
the quarters, the nickels,
straight into the crapper.
Why shouldn’t I pull down my pants
and moon the executioner....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
