Putting Green

Famous quotes containing the words putting and/or green:

“Even in my own writings I cannot always recover the meaning of my former ideas; I know not what I meant to say, and often get into a regular heat, correcting and putting a new sense into it, having lost the first and better one. I do nothing but come and go. My judgement does not always forge straight ahead; it strays and wanders.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“The wrong of unshapely things is a wrong too great to be told;
I hunger to build them anew and sit on a green knoll apart....”
