Everywhere I am folded, there I am a lie.

When Brother Francis had removed the last tray, he touched the papers reverently: only a handful of folded documents here, and yet a treasure; for they had escaped the angry flames of the Simplification, wherein even sacred writings had curled, blackened, and withered into smoke while ignorant mobs howled and hailed it a triumph. He handled the papers as one might handle holy things, shielding them from the wind with his habit, for all were brittle and cracked from age. There was a sheaf of rough sketches and diagrams. There were hand-scribbled notes, two large folded papers, and a small book entitled Memo. ~ Ch 2
Walter M. (Jr.) Miller
Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.
John Milton
I know—yet my arms are empty,
That fondly folded seven,
And the mother heart within me
Is almost starved for heaven.Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
We don't propose to sit here in our rocking chair with our hands folded and let the Communists set up any government in the Western Hemisphere.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Our days, our deeds, all we achieve or are,
Lay folded in our infancy; the things
Of good or ill we choose while yet unborn.John Townsend Trowbridge
