Penn State Def

Famous quotes containing the words penn and/or state:

    Storytelling and copulation are the two chief forms of amusement in the South. They’re inexpensive and easy to procure.
    —Robert Penn Warren (b. 1905)

    A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.
    Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
