Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or weapon:
“unless I can shake myself free of my dog, my flag,
of my desk, my mind, I find life a bit of a drag.

useful, graceful, sturdy and with no caper, no plan.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“The aim of poetry, it appears, is to fill the mind with lofty thoughtsnot to give it joy, but to give it a grand and somewhat gaudy sense of virtue. The essay is a weapon against the degenerate tendencies of the age. The novel, properly conceived, is a means of uplifting the spirit; its aim is to inspire, not merely to satisfy the low curiosity of man in man.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
