Famous quotes containing the words randolph and/or quirk:

    a word too much repeated
    falls out of being
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    The guided missiles,
    The black-and-white angels follow each quirk and jink of
    The evasive sheep, play grandmother’s-steps behind them,
    Freeze to the ground, or leap to head off a straggler
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
