Forcing

Famous quotes containing the word forcing:

    An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish. Hence the difficulty of forcing anything into an empty head.

    “Who cares what they say? It’s a nice way to live,
    Just taking what Nature is willing to give,
    Not forcing her hand with harrow and plow.”

    It is quite true, as some poets said, that the God who created man must have had a sinister sense of humor, creating him a reasonable being, yet forcing him to take this ridiculous posture, and driving him with blind craving for this ridiculous performance.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
