Famous quotes containing the words purpose and/or screw:

“Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

““Cham” is the only thing to screw one up when one is down a peg.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
