Raft Quotations
In the duel of sex woman fights from a dreadnought and man from an open raft.
H. L. Mencken
Since then, I have just read and read - but, that said, I suppose there is a raft of writers to whom I return again and again, not so much because I want to write like them, even if I were capable of it, but simply for a sort of stylistic shot in the arm.
Penelope Lively
George Raft may or may not have gone both ways, but he was very sensitive to what they said about him, and it was one factor why he decided to play all those gangsters in the movies.
Cesar Romero
I know Raft did have some genuine affairs with actresses.
Cesar Romero

Kyra Sedgwick

Marie Windsor
Prejudice is a raft onto which the shipwrecked mind clambers and paddles to safety.
Ben Hecht

Today I can announce a raft of reforms that we estimate could save over 2.5 million police hours every year. That's the equivalent of more than 1,200 police officer posts. These reforms are a watershed moment in policing. They show that we really mean business in busting bureaucracy.
Theresa May
I had to do a tango with Raft and I learned to dance in ballet shoes with my knees bent.
Marie Windsor
It's hard now to imagine that kind of travel and the daily tasks they simply took for granted. If a wagon axle broke, you had to stop and carve a new one. To cross a river, you sometimes had to build a raft.
James Houston
