Famous quotes containing the word manage:
“Some people are under the impression that all that is required to make a good fisherman is the ability to tell lies easily and without blushing; but this is a mistake. Mere bald fabrication is useless; the veriest tyro can manage that. It is in the circumstantial detail, the embellishing touches of probability, the general air of scrupulous—almost of pedantic—veracity, that the experienced angler is seen.”
—Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
“They’ve a temper, some of them—paticularly verbs: they’re the proudest—adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs—however, I can manage the whole lot of them!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“I have done it again.
One year in every ten
I manage it—”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
