Snails Lay Eggs

Famous quotes containing the words snails, lay and/or eggs:

    little snails at the back
    of the knee building bon-
    fires ...
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Were you but lying cold and dead,
    And lights were paling out of the West,
    You would come hither, and bend your head,
    And I would lay my head on your breast....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called “weasel words.” When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a “weasel word” after another there is nothing left of the other.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
