Famous quotes containing the word put:
“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort. Do not talk to him about the interests and rights of the human race; that little private business of his for the moment absorbs all his thoughts, and he hopes that public disturbances can be put off to some other time.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“We are put there beside the three thieves
for the lowest of us all
deserve to smile in eternity
like a watermelon.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
