Dropped Valve Seat

Famous quotes containing the words dropped and/or seat:

    The plum my mother picked matured slowly,
    The boy she dropped from darkness at her side
    Into the sided lap of light grew strong....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Tom took his whipping and went back to his seat not at all broken-hearted, for he thought it was possible that he had unknowingly upset the ink on the spelling-book himself, in some skylarking bout—he had denied it for form’s sake and because it was custom, and had stuck to the denial from principle.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
