Famous quotes containing the words handy and/or cross:

“‘Twant for powder an’ for store bought hair,
De man ah love would not gone no where, no where.”
—W.C. Handy (1873–1958)

“He is asleep. He knows no longer the fatigue of the work of deciding, the work to finish. He sleeps, he has no longer to strain, to force himself, to require of himself that which he cannot do. He no longer bears the cross of that interior life which proscribes rest, distraction, weaknesshe sleeps and thinks no longer, he has no more duties or chores, no, no, and I, old and tired, oh! I envy that he sleeps and will soon die.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
