“People can be slave ships in shoes.”
“from the slave ship to the citizenship we faced a lot of bullship”
“Slaves of Plastic! Leather-shoe chino-pants prisoners! Haircut junkies! Dacron-shiffers!”
“And beauty has a quality all of its own that seems supreme; that seems above mere men with slaving ships and pistols...”
“The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things: Of shoes and ships - and sealing wax - of cabbages and kings”
“There are some people, if you can only get to learn the length of their feet, you can always fit them with shoes afterwards.”
