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)

“A boy is not free to find a partner of his own as long as he must be the partner to his mother.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
