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

    “This is one of the worst speeches I’ve ever seen. No one will listen except the Mobil P.R. man. List what we want to say M arrange items in order of priority M then say them plainly and bluntly.... Hit hard and early. Don’t apologize or evade tough issues.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “People fall out of windows, trees tumble down,
    Summer is changed to winter, the young grow old
    The air is full of children, statues, roofs
    And snow. The theatre is spinning round,
    Colliding with deaf-mute churches and optical trains.
    The most massive sopranos are singing songs of scales.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “A man in the house is worth two in the street.”
    —Mae West, U.S. actor, screenwriter, and Leo McCarey. Ruby Carter (Mae West)
