Famous quotes containing the word knocked:
“The frequency of personal questions grows in direct proportion to your increasing girth. . . .

No matter how much you wish for privacy, your pregnancy is a public event to which everyone feels invited.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
“Out of the sighs a little comes,
But not of grief, for I have knocked down that
Before the agony; the spirit grows,
Forgets, and cries;
A little comes, is tasted and found good....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“You have to give this much to the Luftwaffe: when it knocked down our buildings it did not replace them with anything more offensive than rubble. We did that.”
—Prince Charles (b. 1948)
