Famous quotes containing the words built and/or crooked:
“So this is the subterranean life.
If it can’t be conjugated onto us, what good is it?
What need for purists when the demotic is built to last,
To outlast us, and no dialect hears us?”

“Ah, he is a crooked stick himself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
