Threw

Famous quotes containing the word threw:

    And I threw a little earth
    on the pink coffin
    covered by the fake plastic grass
    and said O.K., God,
    if it’s the end of the world,
    it must be necessary.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    When the Revolutionaries ran short of gun wadding the Rev. James Caldwell ... broke open the church doors and seized an armful of Watts’ hymnbooks. The preacher threw them to the soldiers and shouted, “Give ‘em Watts, boys—give ‘em Watts!”
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Then must you speak
    Of one the lov’d not wisely but too well;
    Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
    Perplex’d in the extreme; of one whose hand,
    Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
    Richer than all his tribe;
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
