Famous quotes containing the words rip and/or hawk:
“We are double-edged blades, and every time we whet our virtue the return stroke straps our vice. Where is the skillful swordsman who can give clean wounds, and not rip up his work with the other edge?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And Coleridge, too, has lately taken wing,
But like a hawk encumber’d with his hood,—
Explaining Metaphysics to the nation—
I wish he would explain his Explanation.”
