Lame Duck Session

Famous quotes containing the words lame, duck and/or session:

    My nurses, those starchy ghosts,
    hover over me for my lame hours
    and my lame days. The mechanics
    of the body pump for their tricks.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    My God! The English language is a form of communication! Conversation isn’t just crossfire where you shoot and get shot at! Where you’ve got to duck for your life and aim to kill! Words aren’t only bombs and bullets—no, they’re little gifts, containing meanings!
    Philip Roth (b. 1933)

    The bar is the male kingdom. For centuries it was the bastion of male privilege, the gathering place for men away from their women, a place where men could go to freely indulge in The Bull Session ... the release of the guilty anxiety of the oppressor class.
    Shulamith Firestone (b. 1945)
