Famous quotes containing the words big and/or stick:

    “the small town big shot who, although very short,
    who although with a cigarette-stained mustache,
    who although famous for lobster on the rocks,
    left me here, nubkin, sucking in my vodka
    and emphysema cigarettes, unable to walk
    your walks, unable to write your writes.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Forgotten and stinking they stick in the can.
    And the vase breath’s better and all, and all.
    And so for the end of our life to a man,
    Just over, just over and all.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
