Famous quotes containing the word tools:
“... pure and intelligent women can be deceived and misled by the baser sort, their very innocence and experience making them credulous and the helpless tools of the guilty and bold.”

“A life I didn’t choose
chose me: even
my tools are the wrong ones
for what I have to do.”
