Alps Run

Famous quotes containing the words alps and/or run:

“But can see better there, and laughing there
Pity the giants wallowing on the plain.
...
Pygmies expand in cold impossible air,
Cry fie on the giantshine, poor glory which
Pounds breast-bone punily, screeches, and has
Reached no Alps: or, knows no Alps to reach.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.”
—George Burns (b. 1896)
