Room Count

Famous quotes containing the words room and/or count:

Sunless, cooler—a brimming
Saucer of wax, marbly and dim—
I have lit what’s left of my life.”

“There’s no telling what might have happened to our defense budget if Saddam Hussein hadn’t invaded Kuwait that August and set everyone gearing up for World War II½.

—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
