Turn

Famous quotes containing the word turn:

“They turn one’s legs
To cribbage pegs—”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

“Some parents were awful back then and are awful still. The process of raising you didn’t turn them into grown-ups. Parents who were clearly imperfect can be helpful to you. As you were trying to grow up despite their fumbling efforts, you had to develop skills and tolerances other kids missed out on. Some of the strongest people I know grew up taking care of inept, invalid, or psychotic parents—but they know the parents weren’t normal, healthy, or whole.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

“Despising,
For you, the city, thus I turn my back;
There is a world elsewhere.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
