A Quote by Nnedi Okorafor

Though I knew I shouldn’t have cared, the words still hurt like pinches, and pinches can be very painful when done in the same place many times in a row.

No one knows whom the shoe pinches - no one.

Sholom Aleichem

the matrimonial shoe pinches me.

Amelia Barr

Be strong , my young friends; that is my advice to you. You will be nearer to Heaven through football than through the study of the Gita. These are bold words; but I have to say them, for I love you. I know where the shoe pinches.

Swami Vivekananda

Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches.

George Herbert

I can tell where my own shoe pinches me.

Miguel de Cervantes

A shoe that fits one person pinches another.

Alex Flinn

The coat of the buffalo never pinches under the arm, never puckers at the shoulders; it is always the same, yet never old fashioned nor out of date.

Theodore Parker

Only the toad under the harrow knows where it pinches him.

Mahatma Gandhi

Flesh and blood, You, brother mine, that entertain'd ambition, Expell'd remorse and nature, who, with Sebastian- Whose inward pinches therefore are most strong- Would here have kill'd your king, I do forgive thee, Unnatural though thou art.

William Shakespeare

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Carl Jung

I believe our differences are the little pinches of salt that can make the marriage seem more flavorful.

James E. Faust

It's not the cost (although that pinches), or the time (though that grinds). After a while, it's the sheer galling indignity of being asked to prove, pay, and prove all over again that you're a worthy parent. Any true parent will tell you that that is impossible to prove in advance.

Scott Simon

No one is without their difficulties, whether in High, or low Life, & every person knows best where their own shoe pinches.

Abigail Adams

All the "not readies," all the "I need time," are understandable, but only for a short while. The truth is that there is never a "completely ready," there is never a really "right time." As with any descent to the unconscious, there comes a time when one simply hopes for the best, pinches one's nose, and jumps into the abyss. If this were not so, we would not have needed to create the words heroine, hero, or courage.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

If a man's fortune does not fit him, it is like the shoe in the story; if too large it trips him up, if too small it pinches him.

Horace

Father’s silence is not merely the absence of sound. It’s a creature with a life of its own. It chokes you. It pinches you small as a grain of rice. It twists in your gut like a worm. Silence clawed at my throat. It left a taste of burnt matches.
