Individual Zinc Fingers

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or fingers:

    “The easiest period in a crisis situation is actually the battle itself. The most difficult is the period of indecision—whether to fight or run away. And the most dangerous period is the aftermath. It is then, with all his resources spent and his guard down, that an individual must watch out for dulled reactions and faulty judgment.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

    “With fingers weary and worn,
    With eyelids heavy and red,
    A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
    Plying her needle and thread—
    Stitch! stitch! stitch!
    In poverty, hunger and dirt
    And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
    She sang the “Song of the Shirt.””
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
