Quote by Spiro T. Agnew

Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools and women. We may soon be able to tame the oceans; fools and women will take a little longer.

Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools

Summary

This quote suggests that throughout history, taming the vastness and unpredictability of the oceans has been a challenging endeavor, but through technological advancements, humans may soon conquer this. However, it metaphorically points out that understanding or controlling the behaviors of fools and women may require more time and effort. It implies that fools and women, representing unpredictable or hard-to-grasp elements of human nature, remain complex to manage or comprehend, potentially implying the persistent need for patience and understanding before fully understanding their dynamics.

It's like this old patchwork quilt my momma used to have...Each piece on that quilt meant something. And some of those pieces were the damn ugliest things you've ever seen...But some of the pieces were so beautiful they almost hurt my eyes to look at when I was a kid...That's the best you can hope for, Danny. That your life turns out like that patchwork quilt. That you can add some bright, sparkling pieces to the dirty, stained ones you have so far. That in the end, the bright patches might take up more space on your quilt than the dark ones.
