Famous quotes containing the words top, hits and/or record:

    “You of the top hat,
    Mr. God,
    you of the Cross made of lamb bones,
    you of the camps, sacking the rejoice out of Germany,
    I tell you this . . .
    it will not do.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “Not marble nor the gilded monuments
    Of princes shall outlive this powerful rime;
    But you shall shine more bright in these contents
    Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.
    When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
    And broils root out the work of masonry,
    Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
    The living record of your memory.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
