“A wet sheet and a flowing sea,
A wind that follows fast
And fills the white and rustling sail
And bends the gallant mast;”

Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.”

“What did you hit her for?
I’ll let you in on something, she’s a lush, the lady. After she bends the elbow a few times, she begins to see things. Rats, roaches, snakes, bats, you know. A sock in the kisser’s the only thing that’ll bring her out of it.”
—Richard Brooks (1912–1992)
