Knife/legislation

Famous quotes containing the words knife and/or legislation:

    When she, and though some said she played
    I said that she had danced heart’s truth,
    Drew a knife to strike him dead,
    I could but leave him to his fate;
    For, no matter what is said,
    They had all that had their hate....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Being offended is the natural consequence of leaving one’s home. I do not like after- shave lotion, adults who roller-skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. I do not, however, go around enacting legislation and putting up signs.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
