“They're promising very good numbers that they have a better-than-even shot to obtain. The patriotic swell of the country I think will help the numbers.”
Andrew Donchin
“It's not as bad as it was yesterday but the swell is up a bit and there's huge numbers of people on the beaches and they don't look like they're going home anytime soon.”
David McLean
“My grief lies all within, And these external manners of lament Are merely shadows to the unseen grief That swells with silence in the tortured soul”
William Shakespeare
“Bunny slippers remind me of who I am. You can't get a swelled head if you wear bunny slippers. You can't lose your sense of perspective and start acting like a star or a rich lady if you keep on wearing bunny slippers. Besides, bunny slippers give me confidence because they're so jaunty. They make a statement; they say, 'Nothing the world does to me can ever get me so far down that I can't be silly and frivolous.' If I died and found myself in Hell, I could endure the place if I had bunny slippers.”
Dean Koontz
“The meanest flowret of the vale, / The simplest note that swells the gale, / The common sun, the air, and skies, / To him are opening paradise.”
Thomas Gray
“I don’t know about bores. Maybe you shouldn’t feel too sorry if you see some swell girl getting married to them. They don’t hurt anybody most of them, and maybe they’re all terrific whistlers or something. Who the hell knows? Not me.”
J. D. Salinger
“If a girl looks swell when she meets you, who gives a damn if she's late? Nobody.”
