Famous quotes containing the words subdued and/or cloth:
“The jaws’ hooked clamp and fangs
Not to be changed at this date;
A life subdued to its instrument;”
—Ted Hughes (b. 1930)
“They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
