Famous quotes containing the words high and/or vacuum:

    “A man shall perhaps rush by and trample down plants as high as his head, and cannot be said to know that they exist, though he may have cut many tons of them, littered his stables with them, and fed them to his cattle for years.

    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “When a daughter tries suicide
    and the chimney falls down like a drunk

    and the vacuum cleaner swallows its bag
    and the toilet washes itself in tears ...”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
