Winchester Super Short

Famous quotes containing the words winchester and/or short:

“Up from the South at break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain’s door,
The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.”
—Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)

“[On being asked “what sort of future she anticipates having”:] A very short one.”
—Jeanne Calment (b. c. 1875)
