What are odd lines?

Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or lines:

    I don’t think he has any idea he’s a dog, not really. Of course, he thinks he has a rather odd figure for a man.
    Dodie Smith, and Lewis Allen. Pamela Fitzgerald (Ruth Hussey)

    To understand
    The signs that stars compose, we need depend
    Only on stars that are entirely there
    And the apparent space between them. There
    Never need be lines between them, puzzling
    Our sense of what is what.
    John Hollander (b. 1929)
