Famous quotes containing the word crazy:
“A crazy man that found a cup,
When all but dead of thirst,
Hardly dared to wet his mouth
Imagining, moon-accursed,
That another mouthful
And his beating heart would burst.”

“I started out very quiet and I beat Mr. Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat Mr. de Maupassant. Ive fought two draws with Mr. Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobodys going to get me in any ring with Mr. Tolstoy unless Im crazy or I keep getting better.”
—Ernest Hemingway (18991961)

—John Paxton (19111985)
