Iron Needle

Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or needle:

“Morality, a muzzle for the will; logic, a climbing iron for the mind.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poet’s pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,
They’ll say it’s stolen, or else it was by chance.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
