Jump

Famous quotes containing the word jump:

    Some of these men had become abstrusely entangled with the spying departments of other nations and would give an amusing jump if you came from behind and tapped them on the shoulder.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    If anybody else says it’s like old times, I’ll jump out the window.
    Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)

    If it were done when ‘tis done, then ‘twere well
    It were done quickly. If th’ assassination
    Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
    With his surcease success—that but this blow
    Might be the be-all and the end-all!—here,
    But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
    We’d jump the life to come.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
