Finger Dexterity

Famous quotes containing the words finger and/or dexterity:

“the jeweled prize
always
at our finger tips.
We will it so
and so it is
past all accident.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

“He who asks fortune-tellers the future unwittingly forfeits an inner intimation of coming events that is a thousand times more exact than anything they may say. He is impelled by inertia, rather than curiosity, and nothing is more unlike the submissive apathy with which he hears his fate revealed than the alert dexterity with which the man of courage lays hands on the future.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
