Famous quotes containing the words clabber and/or bell:
“As they say, when a man begins to have bad luck, even clabber can break his head.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
