Thumb Instruction Set

Famous quotes containing the words thumb, instruction and/or set:

    Your small hands, precisely equal to my own—
    only the thumb is larger, longer—in these hands
    I could trust the world, or in many hands like these,
    handling power-tools or steering-wheel
    or touching a human face ...
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    I turn my gaze
    Back to the instruction manual which has made me dream of
    Guadalajara.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I move my thin legs into your office
    and we work over the cadaver of my soul.
    We make a stage set out of my past
    and stuff painted puppets into it.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
