Butler Played

Famous quotes containing the words butler and/or played:

“The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,
The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,
Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,
Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;
Great nations blossom above,
A slave bows down to a slave.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Listen here. I’ve never played it safe
in spite of what the critics say.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
