Catch

Famous quotes containing the word catch:

    Well, you Yankees and your holy principle about savin’ the Union. You’re plunderin’ pirates that’s what. Well, you think there’s no Confederate army where you’re goin’. You think our boys are asleep down here. Well, they’ll catch up to you and they’ll cut you to pieces you, you nameless, fatherless scum. I wish I could be there to see it.
    John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)

    Maria: You should get out of these clothes immediately. You’ll catch your death of pneumonia, you will.
    Inspector Clouseau: Yes, yes, I probably will. But it’s all part of life’s rich pageantry.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    I drink the five o’clock martinis
    and poke at this dry page like a rough
    goat. Fool! I fumble my lost childhood
    for a mother and lounge in sad stuff
    with love to catch and catch as catch can.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
