Famous quotes containing the word wanton:

    A man whose blood
    Is very snow-broth; one who never feels
    The wanton stings and motions of the sense,
    But doth rebate and blunt his natural edge
    With profits of the mind, study, and fast.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other children but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    The milkweed brings up to my very door
    The theme of wanton waste in peace and war....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
