Lump

Famous quotes containing the word lump:

    A sparrow enters the tree,
    Whereon immediately
    A snow lump thrice his own slight size
    Descends on him and showers his head and eyes,
    And overturns him,
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    I want a lump in his throat to obstruct the wisecrack.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    The newspaper has debauched the American until he is a slavish, simpering, and angerless citizen; it has taught him to be a lump mass-man toward fraud, simony, murder, and lunacies more vile than those of Commodus or Caracalla.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
