Russell Played

Famous quotes containing the words russell and/or played:

“I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
Where a little headstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.

Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
And I told of the good All-father
Who cares for us here below.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

“An epigram is only a wisecrack that’s played at Carnegie Hall.”
—Oscar Levant (1906–1972)
