Purpose Metric Screw

Famous quotes containing the words purpose and/or screw:

“Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne.... Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

“Prithee don’t screw your wit beyond the compass of good manners.”
—Colley Cibber (1671–1757)
