The hands of every clock are shears, trimming us away scrap by scrap, and every time piece with a digital readout blinks us towards implosion.
Dean Koontz
Image
And sing to those that hold the vital shears And turn the adamantine spindle round, On which the fate of gods and men is wound.
John Milton
Image
My life had taken a stranger turn than I could've ever imagined. What was I doing on this path? Where was I headed really? Who was I to take on a battle between powers I didn't understand— armed with a runaway cat, a uniquely bad drummer, a pair of garden shears, and an Ovaltine-drinking teen Galileo? To save a girl who didn't want to be saved?
Kami Garcia
Image
A good shepherd shears his flock, not flays them. [Lat., Boni pastoris est tondere pecus non deglubere.]
Suetonius
Image
The statesman shears the sheep the politician skins them.
Austin O'Malley
Image
We're left with so little to go on. Only the present is full enough to seem complete, and even that is an optical illusion. The moment is bleeding off the page. We live on the precipice of our perceptions. At the edge of every living instant, the world shears away like a cliff of ice into the sea of what is forgotten.
Ivan Vladislavic
Image
The finished product is not finished when the actor is. The work is completed by a pair of shears.
Josef von Sternberg
