Summer Offensive

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or offensive:

“To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie—
True Poems flee—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“Uses are always much broader than functions, and usually far less contentious. The word function carries overtones of purpose and propriety, of concern with why something was developed rather than with how it has actually been found useful. The function of automobiles is to transport people and objects, but they are used for a variety of other purposes—as homes, offices, bedrooms, henhouses, jetties, breakwaters, even offensive weapons.”
—Frank Smith (b. 1928)
