Lay

Famous quotes containing the word lay:

“‘Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly,
Play the Dead March as you carry me along;
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o’er me,
For I’m a young cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong.”
—Unknown. As I Walked Out in the Streets of Laredo (l. 5–8)

“Technology as the knack of eliminating the world as resistance,... the technologist’s worldlessness.... My mistake lay in the fact that we technologists try to live without death.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)

“He said, I’m just out of hospital,
but I’m still flying.
I answered, of course,
angry, prescient, knowing.
what fire lay behind his wide stare,”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
