Puzzle Pieces

Famous quotes containing the words puzzle and/or pieces:

    —My good friend, quoth I—as sure as I am I—and you are you
    —And who are you? said he.—Don’t puzzle me; said I.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
