Handed Batters

Famous quotes containing the words handed and/or batters:

    Sure, you can love your child when he or she has just brought home a report card with straight “A’s.” It’s a lot harder, though, to show the same love when teachers call you from school to tell you that your child hasn’t handed in any homework since the beginning of the term.
    —The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, II, ch.3 (1985)

    It is time that beats in the breast and it is time
    That batters against the mind, silent and proud,
    The mind that knows it is destroyed by time.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
