Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or glass:

    “All I’m telling you is that that little creature in there has as much right to live as you do. Don’t forget, you invaded his world. You sank a pipe six miles into the ground and when he climbed up you set dogs on him, shot him.”
    —Richard Fielding, and Lee Sholem. Superman (George Reeves)

    “the loose fragrant cavendish
    and the shag,
    And the bright Virginia
    loose under the bright glass cases,”
