Gordon B. Hinckley quote: "All writers should be put in a box and thrown in the sea."
All writers should be put in a box and thrown in the sea. Gordon B. Hinckley
In advance of the dogs, on wide snowshoes, toiled a man. At the rear of the sled toiled a second man. On the sled, in the box, lay a third man whose toil was over - a man whom the Wild had conquered and beaten down until he would never move nor struggle again. Jack London
Without a word she swivels, as if she’s voice activated, as if she’s on little oiled wheels, as if she’s on top of a music box. I resent this grace of hers. I resent her meek head, bowed as if into a heavy wind. But there is no wind. Margaret Atwood
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "I am killed them quick, but they are killing me slow. [Jim..."
I am killed them quick, but they are killing me slow. [Jim Browner in 'The Adventure of the Cardboard Box'] Arthur Conan Doyle
The cowboy has now gone to worlds invisible; the wind has blown away the white ashes of his campfires; but the empty sardine box lies rusting over the face of the Western earth. Owen Wister
It's really fine that you found a good archivist to do the basically difficult and at times harrowing work of cleaning out old papers. I hope you keep her digging into all the old boxes as long as there is ONE left. M. F. K. Fisher
You see Carter, people are two things: greedy and cruel. So we have a perfect set-up here. The greed part - a kid pays a buck for a chance to win a hundred. Plus fifty boxes of chocolates. The cruel part - watching two guys hitting each other, maybe hurting each other, while they're safe in the bleachers. That's why it works, Carter, because we're all bastards. Robert Cormier
I'd sooner have died than admit that the most valuable thing I owned was a fairly extensive collection of German industrial music dance mix EP records stored for even further embarrassment under a box of crumbling Christmas tree ornaments in a Portland, Oregon basement. So I told him I owned nothing of any value. Doug Coupland
So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here--not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms. Hunter S. Thompson
Truman Capote quote: "Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liquers at..."
Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liquers at one go. Truman Capote
Mario Puzo quote: "Life is like a box of Hand grenades, You never know what will..."
Life is like a box of Hand grenades, You never know what will blow you to kingdom come Mario Puzo
Upon my return I found the call in my box. It was Anne's number, then Anne's voice on the wire, and, as always, the little leap and plunk in my heart like a frog jumping into a lily pool. With the ripples spreading round. Robert Penn Warren
Everybody is, I suppose, either Classic or Gothic by nature. Either you feel in your bones that buildings should be rectangular boxes with lids to them, or you are moved to the marrow by walls that climb and branch, and break into a inflorescence of pinnacles. Dorothy L. Sayers
C. S. Lewis quote: "Father! Can I box him? Please!"
Father! Can I box him? Please! C. S. Lewis
He took the Who’s feast, he took the Who pudding, he took the roast beast. He cleaned out that ice box as quick as a flash. Why, the Grinch even took their last can of Who hash. Dr. Seuss
