Famous quotes containing the words cold, boot and/or attack:

    These flowers, which were splendid and sprightly,
    Waking in the dawn of the morning,
    In the evening will be a pitiful frivolity,
    Sleeping in the cold night’s arms.
    Pedro, Calderón De La Barca (1600–1681)

    ... 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)

    When Religion and Royalty are swept away, the people will attack the great, and after the great, they will fall upon the rich.
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
