Cut Knife

Famous quotes containing the words cut and/or knife:

“They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

“The plastic surgeon’s knife slashes at time, which may seem to retreat, but then keeps on coming.”
