Quote examples
Diane Ackerman
American Poet
Cicadas, buckling and unbuckling their stomach muscles, yield the sound of someone sharpening scissors. Fall field crickets, the thermometer hounds, add high-pitched tinkling chirps to the jazz, and their call quickens with warm weather, slows again with cool.
Quote examples
Bailee Madison
American Actress
I honestly don't even know how I got into acting. It happened so quickly because my mom and sister used to do commercials, and apparently when I was little I would unbuckle myself from the stroller and crash their auditions.
Quote examples
P. J. O'Rourke
American Comedian
Government is a health hazard. Governments have killed many more people than cigarettes or unbuckled seat belts ever have.
