Put Off

Famous quotes containing the words put off and/or put:

    When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.
    William James (1842–1910)

    Does the Eagle know what is in the pit
    Or wilt thou go ask the Mole?
    Can wisdom be put in a silver rod,
    Or love in a golden bowl?
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Not one man is forgiven! East, West, North, South!
    I bite off their dingbats. Christ rots in my mouth.
    I curse the seed of my father that put me here
    for when I die there’ll be no one to say: Oh No!
    Oh dear.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
