When two terms belong to the same category, it is proper to construct conjunctive propositions embodying them. Thus a purchaser may say that he bought a left-hand glove and a right- hand glove, but not that he bought a left-hand glove, a right- hand glove, and a pair of gloves. 'She came home in a flood of tears and a sedan-chair' is a well known joke based on the absurdity of conjoining terms of different types. Now the dogma of the Ghost in the Machine does just this. It maintains that there exist both bodies and minds.

Gilbert Ryle

Universal love is a glove without fingers, which fits all bands alike and none closely; but true affection is like a glove with fingers, which fits one hand only, and sits close to that one.

Jean Paul

I mean at the end of the day, we are still brothers [with Malcolm Subban]. But I'm also getting paid to score goals so he better watch that glove side, because I like to go glove side. I know he thinks he's got a hot glove but I'm going to have to try and expose it.

P. K. Subban

Iron hand in a velvet glove.

A glove is a very literal looking hand puppet.

Demetri Martin

See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. O, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that cheek!

William Shakespeare

Into the silence rips a sound that makes me let go of Max's hand and cover my ears. It is like the strafe of a bullet, nails on a chalkboard, promises being broken. It's a note I have never heard - this chord of pure pain - and it takes a moment to realize it is coming from me.

Jodi Picoult

Terrorism and religious extremism are huge challenges. They go hand in glove.

Asma Jahangir

Oh Ireland my first and only love Where Christ and Caesar are hand in glove!

James Joyce

Imagine a music business where all the music press talked about, all day long, was cover bands of old rock and pop groups. Beatles cover bands, Rolling Stones cover bands, The Who cover bands, Led Zeppelin cover bands. Cover bands, cover bands, everywhere you go.

Antony Johnston

Writing should be like skirts. Long enough to cover what it needs to cover and short enough to maintain interest.

Scott McClanahan

Photography works hand in glove with image and memory and therefore possesses their notable epidemic power.

Georges Didi-Huberman

Harley Race was eloquent in his moves - everything made sense, like a hand in a glove.

Shane Douglas

Once I was coming down a street in Beverly Hills and I saw a Cadillac about a block long, and out of the side window was a wonderfully slinky mink, and an arm, and at the end of the arm a hand in a white suede glove wrinkled around the wrist, and in the hand was a bagel with a bite out of it.
