Finger Death Punch

Famous quotes containing the words finger, death and/or punch:

    Over the water come
    Children from homes and children’s parks
    Who speak on a finger and thumb,
    And the masked, headless boy.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.
    John Cheever (1912–1982)

    Lilly Dillon: How’d you get that punch in the stomach, Roy?
    Roy Dillon: I tripped on a chair.
    Lilly Dillon: Get off the grift, Roy.
    Roy Dillon: Why?
    Lilly Dillon: You haven’t got the stomach for it.
    Donald E. Westlake (b. 1933)
