Spread Greek

Famous quotes containing the words spread and/or greek:

    “Cap off
    and then what? The brains as
    helpless as oysters in a pint container,
    the nerves like phone wires.
    God, take care, take infinite care
    with the tumor lest it spread like grease.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
    —Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)
