Sack

Famous quotes containing the word sack:

    “Lincoln, six feet one in his stocking feet,
    The lank man, knotty and tough as a hickory rail,
    Whose hands were always too big for white-kid gloves,
    Whose wit was a coonskin sack of dry, tall tales,
    Whose weathered face was homely as a plowed field.”
    —Stephen Vincent Benét (1898–1943)

    “Say the woman is forty-four.
    Say she is five seven-and-a-half.
    Say her hair is stick color.
    Say her eyes are chameleon.
    Would you put her in a sack and bury her,
    suck her down into the dumb dirt?”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “You can’t divide a business like a sack of apples.”
    —Edward L. Bernds (b. 1911)
