Turn

Famous quotes containing the word turn:

    Every time I get happy
    the Nana-hex comes through.
    Birds turn into plumber’s tools,
    a sonnet turns into a dirty joke,
    a wind turns into a tracheotomy,
    a boat turns into a corpse....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Look not too long in the face of the fire, O man! Never dream with thy hand on the helm! Turn not they back to the compass; accept the first hint of the hitching tiller; believe not the artificial fire, when its redness makes all things look ghastly.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    I might show facts as plain as day:
    But, since your eyes are blind, you’d say,
    “Where? What?” and turn away.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
