Hog Quotations
A damn independent boy; independent as a hog on ice.
Sam Rayburn
I went whole hog at the actor's lifestyle - really embraced it. I had by then known how much I loved acting already, because I discovered acting from a teacher in the seminary - that's the first place I ever did it, in the seminary.
Peter Jurasik

Glenn Miller

Jonathan Miller

J. B. Morton
When we know as much about people as hog specialists know about hogs, we'll be better off.
