Famous quotes containing the word crossed:
“It whispered to the fields of corn,
Bow down, and hail the coming morn.
It shouted through the belfry tower,
Awake, O bell! proclaim the hour.
It crossed the churchyard with a sigh,
And said, Not yet! in quiet lie.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (18091882)
“A slight digression: that bit about my mother was a deliberate lie. In reality, she was a woman of the people, simple and coarse, sordidly dressed in a kind of blouse hanging loose at the waist. I could, of course, have crossed it out, but I purposely leave it there as a sample of one of my essential traits: my light-hearted, inspired lying.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“Loach: What happened to your nose, Gittes? Somebody slam a bedroom window on it?
J.J. Gittes: Nope, your wife got excited. She crossed her legs a little too quick.”
—Robert Towne (b. 1936)
