Famous quotes containing the word quit:
“I have a talent for silence and brevity. I can keep silent when it seems best to do so, and when I speak I can, and do usually, quit when I am done. This talent, or these two talents, I have cultivated. Silence and concise, brief speaking have got me some laurels, and, I suspect, lost me some. No odds. Do what is natural to you, and you are sure to get all the recognition you are entitled to.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“Thats why I quit and took up writing poetry instead.
Its clean, its relaxing, it doesnt squirt juice all over
Something you were certain of a minute ago and now your own face
Is a stranger and no one can tell you its true. Hey, stupid!”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“One fellow I was dating in medical school ... was a veterinarian and he wanted to get married. I said, but youre going to be moving to Minneapolis, and he said, oh, you can quit and Ill take care of you. I said, Go.”
—Sylvia Beckman (b. c. 1931)
