Famous quotes containing the words pat and/or powers:
“Helen, Helen,
the kitchen is your dog
and you pat it
and love it
and keep it clean.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
