Piss Poor Performance

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or performance:

“Hurt a fly!
He would not for the world: he’s pitiful
To flies even. “Sing,” says he, “and tease me still,
If that’s your way, poor insect.””
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother.... Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities. They can’t even attend to the elementary animal requirements of their offspring. It is quite surprising how many children survive in spite of their mothers.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
