Famous quotes containing the words hit, songs and/or ruby:

    “What did you hit her for?
    I’ll let you in on something, she’s a lush, the lady. After she bends the elbow a few times, she begins to see things. Rats, roaches, snakes, bats, you know. A sock in the kisser’s the only thing that’ll bring her out of it.”
    —Richard Brooks (1912–1992)

    “We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage
    And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die,
    We Poets of the proud old lineage
    Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why,”
    —James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)

    “Its quick silver bell beating, beating
    And down the dark one ruby flare
    Pulsing out red light like an artery,”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
