Johnson Met

Famous quotes containing the words johnson and/or met:

“I have thought of a pulley to raise me gradually; but that would give me pain, as it would counteract my natural inclination. I would have something that can dissipate the vis inertiae and give elasticity to the muscles.... We can heat the body, we can cool it; we can give it tension or relaxation; and surely it is possible to bring it into a state in which rising from bed will not be a pain.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“I met a little Elf-man, once,
Down where the lilies blow.
I asked him why he was so small
And why he didn’t grow.”
—John Kendrick Bangs (1862–1922)
