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)

“In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
