Pot

Famous quotes containing the word pot:

“As if he were
a pot of dates
in a blind man’s hand,
Mothers,
they pilfer my husband
and they’re jealous of me!
The cobra’s hood
has come out of its tail.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“Steam was till the other day the devil which we dreaded. Every pot made by any human potter or brazier had a hole in its cover, to let off the enemy, lest he should lift pot and roof and carry the house away.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“One could love reason like an Encyclopaedist and still be favorably inclined toward mysticism. Throughout the ages, up to the eyes of van Gogh, when he looked at a coffee pot or a garden path, mysticism has expanded the human realm by all sorts of threshold experiences.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
