Famous quotes containing the words catch and/or phrases:

    “A garden is like those pernicious machineries we read of, every month, in the newspapers, which catch a man’s coat-skirt or his hand, and draw in his arm, his leg, and his whole body to irresistible destruction.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I know those little phrases that seem so innocuous and, once you let them in, pollute the whole of speech. Nothing is more real than nothing. They rise up out of the pit and know no rest until they drag you down into its dark.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
