Famous quotes containing the words johnny and/or douglas:

    “It’s as plain as plain can be;
    This woman shot her lover, it’s murder in the second degree,
    —Unknown. Frankie and Johnny (l. 73–74)

    How can I live among this gentle
    absolescent breed of heroes, and not weep?
    Unicorns, almost,
    for they are falling into two legends
    in which their stupidity and chivalry
    are celebrated. Each, fool and herb, will be an immortal.
    —Keith Douglas (1920–1944)
