Thumb Instruction Set

Famous quotes containing the words thumb, instruction and/or set:

    Your small hands, precisely equal to my own—
    only the thumb is larger, longer—in these hands
    I could trust the world, or in many hands like these,
    handling power-tools or steering-wheel
    or touching a human face ...
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    A little instruction in the elements of chartography—a little practice in the use of the compass and the spirit level, a topographical map of the town common, an excursion with a road map—would have given me a fat round earth in place of my paper ghost.
    Mary Antin (1881–1949)

    I’ve tried to open the door. My knock isn’t that big a sound. But it is like the knock in “The Wizard of Oz.” It set up this echo through the halls until it was heard by everyone.
    Shannon Faulkner (b. c. 1975)
