Punch/tools

Famous quotes containing the words punch and/or tools:

    I never had anybody but you ... not a real husband ... not even a man.... It’s a bad joke without a punch line.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    At the utmost, the active-minded young man should ask of his teacher only mastery of his tools. The young man himself, the subject of education, is a certain form of energy; the object to be gained is economy of his force; the training is partly the clearing away of obstacles, partly the direct application of effort. Once acquired, the tools and models may be thrown away.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
