Famous quotes containing the words big and/or joe:

    “Seems like everything people oughta know they just don’t want to hear. I guess that’s the big trouble with the world.”
    —Geoffrey Homes (1902–1977)

    “While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
