Arbitrarily Long

Famous quotes containing the words arbitrarily and/or long:

“History is not a book, arbitrarily divided into chapters, or a drama chopped into separate acts: it has flowed forward. Rome is a continuity, called “eternal.” What has accumulated in this place acts on everyone, day and night, like an extra climate.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“The world’s great day is growing late,
Yet strange these fields that we have planted
So long with crops of love and hate.”
—Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
