Famous quotes containing the words bust and/or move:

    They’ll bust you in the lobby. You look like a training poster for the narc squad.
    John Guare (b. 1938)

    Take a woman talking,
    purging herself with rhymes,
    drumming words out like a typewriter,
    planting words in you like grass seed.
    You’ll move off.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
