Famous quotes containing the words mind and/or terrible:
“unless I can shake myself free of my dog, my flag,
of my desk, my mind, I find life a bit of a drag.
Not always, mind you. Usually I’m like my frying pan
useful, graceful, sturdy and with no caper, no plan.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“A new and terrible aristocracy was growing up among them,—the aristocracy of hidden firearms.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
