Famous quotes containing the words free, kick and/or downs:

    I have taken the ribbon from around my neck and hidden it somewhere on my person. If you find it, you can have it. You are free to look for it any way you will, and I will think very little of you if you do not find it.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    Last season’s fruit is eaten
    And the fullfed beast shall kick the empty pail.
    For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
    And next year’s words await another voice.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Do you see that kitten chasing so prettily her own tail? If you could look with her eyes, you might see her surrounded with hundreds of figures performing complex dramas, with tragic and comic issues, long conversations, many characters, many ups and downs of fate,—and meantime it is only puss and her tail.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
