Pocket Speed

Famous quotes containing the words pocket and/or speed:

    “They would have me as familiar with men’s pockets as their
    gloves or their handkerchiefs; which makes much against my
    manhood, if I should take from another’s pocket to put into
    mine; for it is plain pocketing up of wrongs.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “There was such speed in her little body,
    And such lightness in her footfall,
    It is no wonder her brown study
    Astonishes us all.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
