Friendly Pieces

Famous quotes containing the words friendly and/or pieces:

    Americans are very friendly and very suspicious, that is
    what Americans are and that is what always upsets the
    foreigner, who deals with them, they are so friendly
    how can they be so suspicious and they are so
    suspicious how can they be so friendly but they just
    are and that certainly has something to do with their
    having tucked their capital, their capitals away.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Bees plunder the flowers here and there, but afterward they make of them honey, which is all theirs; it is no longer thyme or marjoram. Even so with the pieces borrowed from others; one will transform and blend them to make a work that is all one’s own, that is, one’s judgement. Education, work, and study aim only at forming this.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
