Cut Knife

Famous quotes containing the words cut and/or knife:

“Some spring the white man came, built him a house, and made a clearing here, letting in the sun, dried up a farm, piled up the old gray stones in fences, cut down the pines around his dwelling, planted orchard seeds brought from the old country, and persuaded the civil apple-tree to blossom next to the wild pine and the juniper, shedding its perfume in the wilderness. Their old stocks still remain.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Anna who was mad,
I have a knife in my armpit.
When I stand on tiptoe I tap out messages.”
