Famous quotes containing the words arbitrarily and/or small:
“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 (18991973)
“Vulgarity cannot exist in the absence of loftier values. Once it has affected the latter, however, it wants to absorb them. Unless you want to be as weak and small as human beings, you had better stay away from them.”
