Put Off

Famous quotes containing the word put:

“The confusion of emotions with behavior causes no end of unnecessary trouble to both adults and children. Behavior can be commanded; emotions can’t. An adult can put controls on a child’s behavior—at least part of the time—but how do you put controls on what a child feels? An adult can impose controls on his own behavior—if he’s grown up—but how does he order what he feels?”
—Leontine Young (20th century)

“Sure is big country. The only thing bigger is the sky. Looks like God made it and forgot to put people in it.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
