Rent Strokes

Famous quotes containing the words rent and/or strokes:

    I have been breaking silence these twenty-three years and have hardly made a rent in it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It was the bad ax-helve someone had sold me
    “Made on machine,” he said, plowing the grain
    With thick thumbnail to show how it ran
    Across the handle’s long-drawn serpentine,
    Like the two strokes across a dollar sign.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
