Famous quotes containing the word rolled:
“It all ended with the circuslike whump of a monstrous box on the ear with which I knocked down the traitress who rolled up in a ball where she had collapsed, her eyes glistening at me through her spread fingers—all in all quite flattered, I think. Automatically, I searched for something to throw at her, saw the china sugar bowl I had given her for Easter, took the thing under my arm and went out, slamming the door.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Far off she rolled and rolled
like a woman in labor
and I thought of those who had crossed her,
in antiquity, in nautical trade, in slavery, in war.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world; I am like a snowball—the further I am rolled the more I gain.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
