Famous quotes containing the words contestant and/or climb:

“Ashtrays to cry into,
the suffering brother of the wood walls,
the forty-eight keys of the typewriter
each an eyeball that is never shut,
the books, each a contestant in a beauty contest,
the black chair, a dog coffin made of Naugahyde....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“It doesn’t seem so much to climb a mountain
You’ve worked around the foot of all your life.”
