Famous quotes containing the words big and/or joe:

    “The big blue eyes are shut which saw wrong clothing
    And favourite fields and coverts from a horse;”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    “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)
