Famous quotes containing the words climbing and/or mouse:
“These are the warnings
that you must forget
if you’re climbing out of yourself.
If you’re going to smash into the sky.”

Found a rather large mouse in his stew.
Said the waiter, “Don’t shout,
Or wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one too.””
