Rough Sands

Famous quotes containing the words rough and/or sands:

    He doesn’t want you for friends, that’s why he did it. You see, when guys have been in the line as long as we have, you find out it’s no good to make friends, ‘cause when a friend gets it—well, it’s rough on you. The buddies that come with you you’re stuck with, but you don’t make no new ones. It’s the dyin’ truth.
    Gil Doud, U.S. screenwriter, and Jessie Hibbs. Johnson (Marshall Thompson)

    Out of the cradle endlessly rocking,
    Out of the mocking-bird’s throat, the musical shuttle,
    Out of the Ninth-month midnight,
    Over the sterile sands and the fields beyond, where the child
    leaving his bed wandered alone, bareheaded, barefoot
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
