Famous quotes containing the words alligator and/or alley:
“‘Tis no great valor to perish sword in hand, and bravado on lip; cased all in panoply complete. For even the alligator dies in his mail, and the swordfish never surrenders. To expire, mild-eyed, in one’s bed, transcends the death of Epaminondas.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“In the mind there is a thin alley called death
and I move through it as
through water.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
