Famous quotes containing the words fifty and/or cents:
“For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“Take 50 cents ... take it out of the Ladies’ Fidelity. They never keep any books.”
—Frank Butler (1890–1967)
