Nail Quotations
And I wouldn't take on such a big thing if I didn't think I could nail it. Trish Stratus If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Bernard Baruch There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all. Friedrich Nietzsche If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. Abraham Maslow As the writer, you're always a presence in the song. If you get close to what human beings are like, you're writing about common experience. We all do much the same things, so if you nail somebody, then you've also nailed yourself. Richard Thompson |
