Famous quotes containing the words butter and/or churn:
“In mathematics he was greater
Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
For he, by geometric scale,
Could take the size of pots of ale;
Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
If bread and butter wanted weight;
And wisely tell what hour o’ th’ day
The clock doth strike, by algebra.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“the churn of stale words in the heart again
love love love thud of the old plunger”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
