Famous quotes containing the words sweep and/or picking:
“Haste me to know it, that I with wings as swift
As meditation, or the thoughts of love,
May sweep to my revenge.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Preschoolers think and talk in concrete, literal terms. When they hear a phrase such as “losing your temper,” they may wonder where the lost temper can be found. Other expressions they may hear in times of crisis—raising your voice, crying your eyes out, going to pieces, falling apart, picking on each other, you follow in your father’s footsteps—may be perplexing.”
—Ruth Formanek (20th century)
