Famous quotes containing the word top:

    That’s how the Germans are.... The aristocrats at the top hard as glass, cold as ice, servants of the King, the working masses willing, pliable, sentimental, susceptible to brutality, the middle class educated and cowardly to the point of servility.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

    The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    it took
    a nipponized bit of
    the old sixth
    avenue
    el; in the top of his head: to tell

    him
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
