Put Off

Famous quotes containing the word put:

    Where’s Heloise, the learned nun,
    For whose sake Abeillard, I ween,
    Lost manhood and put priesthood on?
    Francois Villon (1431–1465)

    We are constituted a good deal like chickens, which, taken from the hen, and put in a basket of cotton in the chimney-corner, will often peep till they die, nevertheless; but if you put in a book, or anything heavy, which will press down the cotton, and feel like the hen, they go to sleep directly.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
