Tie

Famous quotes containing the word tie:

    Oh, darling, let your body in,
    let it tie you in,
    in comfort.
    What I want to say, Linda,
    is that women are born twice.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Don’t tie your shoes in a melon patch, and don’t adjust your hat under a plum tree.
    Chinese proverb.

    The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men, a pledge of sanity, and a protection from those perverse tendencies and gloomy insanities in which fine intellects sometimes lose themselves. A rogue alive to the ludicrous is still convertible. If that sense is lost, his fellow-men can do little for him.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
