Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:

    “I can sit up half the night
    With some friend that has the wit
    Not to allow his looks to tell
    When I am unintelligible.
    Fifteen apparitions have I seen;
    The worst a coat upon a coat-hanger.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “His bold head
    ‘Bove the contentious waves he kept, and oared
    Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke
    To the shore.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
