Famous quotes with Saws

  • Aspiring to a souffle, he achieves a pancake at which the reader saws without much appetite.
    John Leonard
  • If, then, faith so evidently surrounds us, why should it be so offensive? It is simply because faith is as essential to the spiritual realm as oxygen is to the natural realm. The professing atheist thinks that if he can get rid of any thought of faith he can get rid of Christianity. In trying to do so, he saws through the branch he is sitting on.

    Ray Comfort

Sounds of metal hammers ringing, chopping of axes in the wood, screech of saws going back and forth, all kinds of White-man forest-killing sounds. A White man’s town.
    Orson Scott Card
