Famous quotes containing the words kicking and/or techniques:
“Religion
Has made an honest woman of the supernatural,
And we won’t have it kicking over the traces again.”
—Christopher Fry (b. 1907)
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
