Thomas Organ

Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or organ:

    Were that enough, bone, blood, and sinew,
    The twisted brain, the fair-formed loin,
    Groping for matter under the dog’s plate,
    Man should be cured of distemper.
    For all there is to give I offer:
    Crumbs, barn, and halter.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    But alas! I never could keep a promise. I do not blame myself for this weakness, because the fault must lie in my physical organization. It is likely that such a very liberal amount of space was given to the organ which enables me to make promises, that the organ which should enable me to keep them was crowded out. But I grieve not. I like no half-way things. I had rather have one faculty nobly developed than two faculties of mere ordinary capacity.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
