Famous quotes containing the words ready to, ready and/or rumble:
“You are all alike, you respectable people. You can’t tell me the bursting strain of a ten-inch gun, which is a very simple matter; but you all think you can tell me the bursting strain of a man under temptation. You daren’t handle high explosives; but you’re all ready to handle honesty and truth and justice and the whole duty of man, and kill one another at that game. What a country! What a world!”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Suspense is one of the most delightful feelings that you can have! It is the feeling you get, when you have sat down to dinner, and the cook sends word that “it won’t be ready for another hour.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“I could take the Harlem night
and wrap around you,
Take the neon lights and make a crown,
Take the Lenox Avenue buses,
Taxis, subways,
And for your love song tone their rumble down.”
—Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
