Backs

Famous quotes containing the word backs:

“The trouble about soldiers in Mr. Siegfried Sassoon’s poetry ... is that they are the kind of people who in a railroad train have to travel with their backs to the engine. Peace can have but few corners softly padded enough for such sensitives.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)

“Those who work their minds rule; those who work with their backs are ruled.”
—Chinese proverb.
