Tied

Famous quotes containing the word tied:

    If I have renounced the search of truth, if I have come into the port of some pretending dogmatism, some new church, some Schelling or Cousin, I have died to all use of these new events that are born out of prolific time into multitude of life every hour. I am as bankrupt to whom brilliant opportunities offer in vain. He has just foreclosed his freedom, tied his hands, locked himself up and given the key to another to keep.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To have news value is to have a tin can tied to one’s tail.
    —T.E. (Thomas Edward)

    Harry Morgan: Walk around me. No, go ahead. Walk around me, clear around. Do ya find anything?
    Slim/Marie Brown: No, no Steve. There are no strings tied to you. Not yet.
    Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
