Needle Receiving Tubes

Famous quotes containing the words needle and/or receiving:

“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poet’s pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,
They’ll say it’s stolen, or else it was by chance.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)

“Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
