Famous quotes containing the words oblong, plan and/or tower:
“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“If you insist on asking me why I feel the way I do, I plan to take the Fifth Amendment.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The King’s name is a tower of strength.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
