Rubber Company

Famous quotes containing the words rubber and/or company:

    Time for the flat-headed man. I recognize that listener,
    Him with the platitudes and rubber doughnuts,
    Melting at the knees, a varicose horror.
    Hello, hello. My nerves knew you, dear boy.
    Have you come to unhinge my shadow?
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    I hate the prostitution of the name of friendship to signify modish and worldly alliances. I much prefer the company of ploughboys and tin-peddlers, to the silken and perfumed amity which celebrates its days of encounter by a frivolous display, by rides in a curricle, and dinners at the best taverns.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
