Putting Green

Famous quotes containing the words putting and/or green:

“Finding a thought for an aphorism is not hard. Putting a kink in its tail is the hard part.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Meanwhile the mind from pleasure less
Withdraws into its happiness;
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds and other seas,
Annihilating all that’s made
To a green thought in a green shade,”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
