I was a feral child. Always on the go. My mother used to sew bells into my dresses so they would know where I was. (Sophie Kennedy Clark)
Weave the circle, tightly sewn, Let nothing evil or unknown Enter within. Stay without On pain of death, we cast you out. View quote
Yasmine Galenorn
Definitely if I am writing something that feels completely straight, I'll sew some queerness in there, because queerness is always there. It's like when you're writing a cityscape, you need to write in the characters that would be there. To me, not doing that is more of a choice. View quote
Mariko Tamaki
My mom was a seamstress, and I wish I'd learned to sew because I'm obsessed with 'Project Runway!' View quote
Carmen Electra
Tira Whatever you're thinkin' you're wrong. I only like him like a brother. You ain't got nothin' to worry about.... Say listen you. A better dame than you once called me a liar and they had to sew her up in twelve different places. You're lucky I'm a little more refined than I used to be. And if you was as much a lady as I am, you'd get out of here before I get real sore. Alicia You haven't a streak of decency in you. Tira I don't show my good points to strangers. I'll trouble you to scram. View quote
Mae West
If he had a bloody gash across his throat and a physiker was trying to sew it up, Lamora would steal the needle and thread and die laughing. View quote
Scott Lynch
I love to hand sew. I sometimes make clothing for my children, which of course they grow out of in a matter of minutes. I thoroughly love it. View quote
Edie Falco
Rama, Rama, Rama chant, this grand Lord's name do not forget in mind With nine orifices this jam-packed city Five kings ruling there with all majesty They guard this body with all the vanity Do not get spoiled believing this mendacity. This insecure body, just a bony cage Tightly wrapped with a cover of skin Full of sewage, slush, and germs within Do not rely on this sewn up cartilage Respected by the recurring Brahmas and celestials Take Hari's name with His supreme credentials Pray the feet of Purandara Vittala And get rid of the fear of the evils all.

Purandara Dasa
Rip yourself open. Sew yourself shut. View quote
Chuck Palahniuk
Here and Now are needles which Sew a pattern black as pitch, Waiting for the rocket's light. View quote
Philip José Farmer
Miles above the Earth we know, Fancy's rocket roars. Below, Here and Now are needles which Sew a pattern black as pitch, Waiting for the rocket's light. (Philip José Farmer)
When I was young, it was not thought proper for young ladies to study very conspicuously; and especially with pen in hand. Young ladies (at least in provincial towns) were expected to sit down in the parlour to sew,-during which reading aloud was permitted,-or to practice their music; but so as to be fit to receive callers, without any signs of blue‐stockingism which could be reported abroad. Jane Austen herself, the Queen of novelists, the immortal creator of Anne Elliott, Mr. Knightly, and a score or two more of unrivalled intimate friends of the whole public, was compelled by the feelings of her family to cover up her manuscripts with a large piece of muslin work, kept on the table for the purpose, whenever any genteel people came in. So it was with other young ladies, for some time after Jane Austen was in her grave; and thus my first studies in philosophy were carried on with great care and reserve. View quote
Jane Austen
Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow, do you understand my pain? Are you willing to risk it all or is your love in vain? View quote
Bob Dylan
The metaphor I've used is... somebody's going to push my family off a cliff pretty soon, and I won't be there to catch them. And that breaks my heart. But I have some time to sew some nets to cushion the fall. So, I can curl up in a ball and cry, or I can get to work on the nets. View quote
Randy Pausch
And why do I sew each new chapeau With a style they most look positively grim in? Strictly between us, entre-nous I hate women. View quote
Sylvia Fine
I think gold is a great thing to sew onto your garments if you're a Jewish family in Vienna in 1939, but civilized people don't buy gold, they invest in productive businesses. View quote
Charlie Munger
Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy have an evaluation that usually begins with electrical studies of the surface of the brain. ...A hole is drilled in the skull, and electrical measurements made from within the depths of the brain. A large flap of the skull is then lifted up, electrodes placed on the surface of the brain, and the flap sewn back into place so that more electrical studies can be done. The risks... are far greater than those associated with the ventricular taps needed for hormone studies. ...If the team of doctors.. can help... areas of the brain that are sending 'bad' signals would be identified and removed... large portions of the brain might be taken away.
