Famous quotes containing the words town and/or clock:
“And oh, I knew, I knew,
And said out loud, I couldn’t bide the smother
And heat so close in; but the thought of all
The woods and town on fire by me, and all
The town turned out to fight for me that held me.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“They’ll take suggestion as a cat laps milk;
They’ll tell the clock to any business that
We say befits the hour.”
