Putting

Famous quotes containing the word putting:

    History is a needle
    for putting men asleep
    anointed with the poison
    Of all they want to keep.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    Now that I’m old, my wish
    Is womanish:
    That the boy putting groceries in my car

    See me.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
