Famous quotes containing the word tore:

    “It was a close place. I took it up, and held it in my hand. I was trembling, because I’d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: “All right, then, I’ll go to hell”—and tore it up.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
