In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.
Adelbert von Chamisso

It resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated, often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.
Sydney Smith

Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they're worn out and times - and this is the worst of all - before we have new ones.
Georg C. Lichtenberg

Just once I would like to persuade the audience not to wear any article of blue denim. If only they could see themselves in a pair of brown corduroys like mine instead of this awful, boring blue denim.
Ian Anderson

Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.
Sydney Smith

My children, as long as you live, the shadow of the Hiss Case will brush you. In every pair of eyes that rests on you, you will see pass, like a cloud passing behind a woods in winter, the memory of your father - dissembled in friendly eyes, lurking in unfriendly eyes.
Whittaker Chambers

My father is a real idealist, and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up, it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense.
Hugh Jackman

My son - and what's a song? A thing begot within a pair of minutes, thereabout, a lump bred up in darkness.
Thomas Kyd

No ghost was every seen by two pair of eyes.
Thomas Carlyle

No, I'm happy doing this. Five sweaters and a pair of dirty pants, you can make pretty good money.
McLean Stevenson

One hair of a woman can draw more than a hundred pair of oxen.
James Howell

Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes.
Thomas W. Higginson

Pair up in threes.
Joe DiMaggio

Richard was in heavy, heavy costume, he could hardly sit, you know, and I turned up and they put me in two layers of silk, so I played him much lighter - you know, floating around in a pair of slippers, a bit of a hippy.
Michael Gambon

The dove act? I'm still working on it. I don't think it's perfect yet. I got my first pair of doves when I was 14 years old. That was the beginning of the formation of that act. So it's been 24 years now that I've been working on it.
Lance Burton

The first things I did when I got out of school in '65 was to buy a pair of Levis and pierce my ears.
Mink Stole

The problem is no longer that with every pair of hands that comes into the world there comes a hungry stomach. Rather it is that, attached to those hands are sharp elbows.
Paul Samuelson

The Victorian era is the sexiest age for me, but I also like a woman in a pair of jeans.
Dylan McDermott

There is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants.
Eliza Dushku

There is room in the smallest cottage for a happy loving pair.
Friedrich Schiller
