Famous quotes containing the words needle and/or thread:
“And so the needle pricked her fingers;
She fidgeted but didn’t go;
A faint forgetfulness of reasons
Kept her with him. Time is slow.”

“I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
