Famous quotes containing the word drawn:
“Our graves that hide us from the searching sun
Are like drawn curtains when the play is done.

Only, we die in earnest—that’s no jest.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
“In some pictures of Provincetown the persons of the inhabitants are not drawn below the ankles, so much being supposed to be buried in the sand.”

“It has lately been drawn to your correspondent’s attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be.

It would appear, from the actions of the assembled guests, that she is about as hot company as a night nurse.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
