Famous quotes containing the words knot and/or atlas:
“O time, thou must untangle this, not I.
It is too hard a knot for me t’untie.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
