Famous quotes containing the words bent and/or trumpet:
“The thing to remember about fathers is, they’re men.
A girl has to keep it in mind:
They are dragon-seekers, bent on improbable rescues.
Scratch any father, you find
Someone chock-full of qualms and romantic terrors,
Believing change is a threat—
Like your first shoes with heels on, like your first bicycle
It took such months to get.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?”
—Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Corinthians, 14:8.
