Bad

Famous quotes containing the word bad:

    It was the bad ax-helve someone had sold me
    “Made on machine,” he said, plowing the grain
    With thick thumbnail to show how it ran
    Across the handle’s long-drawn serpentine,
    Like the two strokes across a dollar sign.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.
    Speak to me. Why do you never speak. Speak.
    What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?
    I never know what are thinking. Think.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Oh, yes, I’d do it all again; the spirit is willing yet; I feel the same desire to do the work but the flesh is weak. It’s too bad that our bodies wear out while our interests are just as strong as ever.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
