When I feel that my life is out of control I start clutching at straws and those straws all relate to my weight or my health.
Billie Piper
(referring to his drink) I got two straws here, in case one breaks down. You know Crazy Straws, they go all over the place? These f**kin' straws are sane. They never lost their minds. They said, "We're going straight to the mouth. That f**ker who takes a while to get there? He's crazy."
Mitch Hedberg
He was hanging on, looking for a life preserver. He was a desperate man clutching at straws.
Ferdinand Edralin Marcos
A tremendous stream is flowing toward the ocean, carrying us all along with it; and though like straws and scraps of paper we may at times float aimlessly about, in the long run we are sure to join the Ocean of Life and Bliss.
Swami Vivekananda
"Wits and swords are as straws against the wisdom of the Darkness..."
Robert E. Howard
Let those find fault whose wit's so very small,
They've need to show that they can think at all;
Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow;
He who would search for pearls, must dive below.
Fops may have leave to level all they can;
As pigmies would be glad to lop a man.
Half-wits are fleas; so little and so light,
We scarce could know they live, but that they bite.John Dryden
