Famous quotes containing the words front and/or clinch:
“A mans destination is his own village,
His own cooking fire, and his wifes cooking;
To sit in front of his own door at sunset
And see his grandson, and his neighbours grandson
Playing in the dust together.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
