Famous quotes containing the words scotch and/or corner:
“In Rangoon the heat of noon
Is just what the natives shun.
They put their Scotch or rye down
And lie down.”
—Noël Coward (1899–1973)
“A man who sees another man on the street corner with only a stump for an arm will be so shocked the first time he’ll give him sixpence. But the second time it’ll only be a threepenny bit. And if he sees him a third time, he’ll have him cold-bloodedly handed over to the police.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
