Hand Snap

Famous quotes containing the words hand and/or snap:

    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings ...
    And while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
    John Gillespie Magee (c. 1922–1941)

    The worst and best are both inclined
    To snap like vixens at the truth.
    But, O, beware the middle mind
    That purrs and never shows a tooth!
    Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)
