Famous quotes containing the words boot and/or folly:

    “... until the shopkeeper plants his boot in our eyes,
    and unties our bone and is finished with the case,
    and turns to the next customer, forgetting our face
    or how we knelt at the yellow bulb with sighs
    like moth wings for a short while in a small place.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “If one gives answer before hearing, it is folly and shame.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 18:13.
