Scuttling Quotes

Traffic growled and snarled, rising at times to a machine-gun rata-tat-tat, while pedestrians were scuttling about with that desperate ratlike urgency characteristic of all big American cities, but which reaches its ultimate in New York. (Fritz Leiber)
"A lot of people think that scuttling around stenciling images onto buildings in the middle of the night is the action of a sad, frustrated individual who can't get attention or recognition any other way. They might be right, but I've done gallery shows and, if you've been hitting on people with all sorts of images in all sorts of places, they're a real step backwards, painting the streets means becoming an actual part of the city. It's not a spectator sport." - Tristan Manco, Stencil Graffiti. View quote

And I have known the arms already, known them all - Arms that are braceleted and white and bare [But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair! ] It is perfume from a dress That makes me so digress? Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl. And should I then presume? :And how should I begin? I should have been a pair of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
