Golden Boot

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or boot:

“The golden fleece of self-sufficiency guards against cudgel- blows but not against pin-pricks.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“... 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)
