Famous quotes containing the words beat and/or hotel:

    “There’s no nation under the sun can beat the English for ill-politeness: for my part, I hate the very sight of them; and so I shall only just visit a person of quality or two of my particular acquaintance, and then I shall go back again to France.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “They all see you when you least suspect.
    Out flat in your p.j.’s glowering at T.V.
    or at the oven gassing the cat
    or at the Hotel 69 head to knee.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
