Put

Famous quotes containing the word put:

“I fasted for some forty days on bread and buttermilk
For passing round the bottle with girls in rags or silk,
In country shawl or Paris cloak, had put my wits astray,
And what’s the good of women for all that they can say
Is fol de rol de rolly O.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“I wouldn’t put it past God to arrange a virgin birth if He wanted, but I very much doubt if He would.”
