Double Twisting Double

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or twisting:

    “To be a woman and a writer
    is double mischief, for
    the world will slight her
    who slights “the servile house,” and who would rather
    make odes than beds.”
    —Dilys Laing (1906–1960)

    “... So damn your food and damn your wines,
    Your twisted loaves and twisting vines,
    Your table d’hôte, your à la carte,
    . . . .
    From now on you can keep the lot.
    Take every single thing you’ve got,
    Your land, your wealth, your men, your dames,
    Your dream of independent power,
    And dear old Konrad Adenauer,
    And stick them up your Eiffel Tower.”
    —Anthony Jay (b. 1930)
