Famous quotes containing the words mann and/or jennings:

    Frau Stöhr ... began to talk about how fascinating it was to cough.... Sneezing was much the same thing. You kept on wanting to sneeze until you simply couldn’t stand it any longer; you looked as if you were tipsy; you drew a couple of breaths, then out it came, and you forgot everything else in the bliss of the sensation. Sometimes the explosion repeated itself two or three times. That was the sort of pleasure life gave you free of charge.
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    McCoy: That shark’s been following us ever since the surgeon died, waiting for the burial. Couldn’t I have a musket to shoot it, sir?
    Fletcher Christian: Take the deck, McCoy. I’ll get the keys to the arms chest.
    McCoy: Get two muskets, sir. I’d like to shoot that shark on board.
    —Talbot Jennings (1896–1985)
