Famous quotes containing the words nose and/or bullet:
“Talk ought always to run obliquely, not nose to nose with no chance of mental escape.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
“Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
squandering your unquoted mirth,
which keeps the ground, and never soars,
while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
goes like bullet to its mark;
while the solid curse and jeer
never balk the waiting ear.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
