Famous quotes containing the words bye and/or plot:

    “You will eat, bye and bye,
    When you’ve learned how to cook and to fry;
    Chop some wood, ‘twill do you good,
    And you’ll eat in the sweet bye and bye.”
    —Joe Hill (1879–1914)

    “The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
