Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

    I don’t give a hoot in a hollow if there’s oranges and grapes a-crowdin’ us out of bed, I ain’t goin’ to California! This is my country and I belong here. This is my dirt. It’s no good, but it’s mine.
    Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)

    And now the winter sea:
    Within her hollow rind
    What sleek facility
    Of sea-conceited scop
    To plumb the nether mind!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The style, the house and grounds, and “entertainment” pass for nothing with me. I called on the king, but he made me wait in his hall, and conducted like a man incapacitated for hospitality. There was a man in my neighborhood who lived in a hollow tree. His manners were truly regal. I should have done better had I called on him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
