Borrowed

Famous quotes containing the word borrowed:

“There was an old woman and she lived in a shoe,
She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do.
She crumm’d ‘em some porridge without any bread
And she borrowed a beetle, and she knocked ‘em all on the head.
Then out went the old woman to bespeak ‘em a coffin
And when she came back she found’ em all a-loffing.”
—Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. There was an old woman who lived in a shoe (l. 1–6)

“Education [is not] a discipline at all. Half vocational, half an emptiness dressed up in garments borrowed from philosophy, psychology, literature.”
—Edward Blishen (b. 1920)

“Thought can but share
Belief—and the tormented soul,
Changing confession to despair,
Must wear a borrowed robe.”
—Austin Clarke (1896–1974)
