Operation Badger Catch

Famous quotes containing the words operation, badger and/or catch:

    You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    When you are about to badger the weak,
    Then imagine yourself before a more powerful man.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    I drink the five o’clock martinis
    and poke at this dry page like a rough
    goat. Fool! I fumble my lost childhood
    for a mother and lounge in sad stuff
    with love to catch and catch as catch can.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
