Famous quotes containing the word put:
“We can never put ourselves in the shoes of children; we cannot fathom their thoughts, we lend them ours; and always following our own reasoning, we stuff their heads with extravagance and error.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (17121778)
“I light matches and put them in my mouth,
and my teeth melt but the greenery hisses on.
I drink blood from my wrists
and the green slips out like a bracelet.
Couldnt one of my keepers get a lawn mower
and chop it down if I turned inside out for an hour?”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
