I bought ... the pins with my three daughters in mind the ships are beautiful, graceful, and moving along at full sail, having long since left home port.
Madeleine Albright
Image
My very first products were hand-made, one-of-a-kind pins. When I finally realized I could repeat a phrase to make multiples, intellectuals gone bad, a fairly succinct description of my own life, seemed appropriate.
Anne Taintor
Image
What fabrications they are, mothers. Scarecrows, wax dolls for us to stick pins into, crude diagrams. We deny them an existence of their own, we make them up to suit ourselves -- our own hungers, our own wishes, our own deficiencies.
Margaret Atwood
Image
There's a certain elitism that has crept into the attitudes of some in journalism, and it played out perfectly over the issue of these little [American flag] lapel pins.
Brit Hume
Image
Anything that you cannot sacrifice pins you. Makes you predictable, makes you weak.
Mark Lawrence
Image
It was the look you get when facing a sudden and insurmountable danger: the errant truck, the shaky ladder, the crazy person who pins you to the linoleum and insists, with increasing urgency, that everything you know and love can be undone by a grape.
David Sedaris
Image
Given the choice of Hollywood or poking steel pins in my eyes, I'd prefer steel pins.
Mike Leigh
Image
There is no essential difference between sticking pins into a wax image of an enemy and burning candles in front of a wax image of the Virgin. You may think that both these practices are gross superstition, but you can hardly think that one is real and potent and deny reality and potency to the other.
Dion Fortune

All the pins stuck in my head from the wig. I would set off a metal detector. And you know when your head gets really itchy? So when the wig gets put on at like 5:30, 6 A.M., and you can't take it off until 7 P.M. - I won't miss all the pins scratching against my scalp.
Natalie Dormer
Image
If wits were pins, the man would be a veritable hedgehog.
Frances Hardinge
Image
My uniform is usually just comfortable clothing. Being a stylist, you spend most of the day at photo shoots covered in safety pins.
Nicola Formichetti
Image
What is success? It is a toy balloon among children armed with pins.
Gene Fowler
Image
President Obama could keep a big map with push pins on it to keep track of how many countries hate us, and when we get down to only half, let's have a ball. I'll blow up the balloons myself.
Paula Poundstone
Image
I'm tired of getting made fun of. The reason I took on The New York Times as ferociously as I did is that I'm tired of being the little icon that people stick pins in, the whipping boy for everything that's gone wrong in this business. Whatever my excess, I think that I've been trumped in many areas by others.
Geraldo Rivera
Image
One man pins me to the wall, while with another I walk among the stars
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
They say that nameless things change constantly—that names fix them in place like pins.
Holly Black
Image
He gets a little hot sometimes, but that's fine. It shows he wants to win...he fires at pins. I'd rather have someone miss some cuts who's shooting at pins and playing aggressively.
Ryan Kuehl
Image
The pandering and ignorance-across-party-lines represented by the John McCain-Hillary Clinton united front for a temporary reduction in the gasoline tax should make Americans hold their heads in their hands and moan [...] Please. This is embarrassing. It makes me long for the good old days of debating about flag pins on the lapel.
James Fallows
Image
But she knows she has a curse on her, a curse she cannot win. For if someone gets too close to her, the pins stick further in.
Tim Burton
Image
Some delicate matters must be treated like pins, because if they are not seized by the right end, we get pricked.
Jean Antoine Petit-Senn
Image
I'm about as far from being a flag-waver - you won't find any American flag pins in my drawer - as someone can be.
Tom Peters

I saw this college team bowling championship. Each team had their own coach. What kind of strategy advice is a bowling coach giving? You know what? This time Timmy, I want you to knock down all the pins. You sure? Trust me. Just do it son!
Jim Gaffigan
Image
I guess there is no two races of people in worse repute with everybody than the international bankers, and the folks that put all those pins in new shirts.
Will Rogers
Image
Not an old woman that buys a paper of pins, without yielding a part of the price to the banks as interest!
