Handle

Famous quotes containing the word handle:

“Fat black bucks in a wine-barrel room,
Barrel-house kings, with feet unstable,
Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table,
Pounded on the table,
Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom,
Hard as they were able,”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)

—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

“English literature is a kind of training in social ethics.... English trains you to handle a body of information in a way that is conducive to action.”
