Fire and Knives

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or knives:

    “... Ain’t it a caution to us not to fix
    No limits to what rose in rubbing sticks
    On fire to scare away the pterodix
    When man first lived in caves along the creeks?”
    “Marvelous world in nineteen-twenty-six.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Commas in The New Yorker fall with the precision of knives in a circus act, outlining the victim.
