Famous quotes containing the words jointed and/or plain:
“Entrance and exit wounds are silvered clean,
The track aches only when the rain reminds.
The one-legged man forgets his leg of wood.
The one-armed man his jointed wooden arm.
The blinded man sees with his ears and hands
As much or more than once with both his eyes.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“Any defeat, however trivial, may be fatal to a savior of the plain people. They never admire a messiah with a bloody nose.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
