Famous quotes containing the words store, bought and/or bones:

“Farmers in overalls and wide-brimmed straw hats lounge about the store on hot summer days, when the most common sound is the thump-thump-thump of a hound’s leg on the floor as he scratches contentedly.

That does freeze my bones around.
Selfish, vain,
Eternal bane!
That free love with bondage bound.’”
