Famous quotes containing the word worn:
“I am worn out with dreams;

And all day long I look
Upon this lady’s beauty
As though I had found in a book”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Relying on any one disciplinary approach—time-out, negotiation, tough love, the star system—puts the parenting team at risk. Why? Because children adapt to any method very quickly; today’s effective technique becomes tomorrow’s worn dance.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
