Famous quotes containing the words boxed and/or sets:
“We then lived roses; I had fooled despair
And boxed him up and flogged his retinue,
Made strong by cheeks and lips! I sucked in dew,
And dragged the world, a weakling, by the hair.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Eddie did not die. He is no longer on Channel 4, and our sets are tuned to Channel 4; he’s on Channel 7, but he’s still broadcasting. Physical incarnation is highly overrated; it is one corner of universal possibility.”
—Marianne Williamson (b. 1953)
