Put Off

Famous quotes containing the word put:

    Pound’s crazy. All poets are.... They have to be. You don’t put a poet like Pound in the loony bin. For history’s sake we shouldn’t keep him there.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    America is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron- clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life’s sacred spontaneity. They can’t trust life until they can control it.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
