Arbitrarily Small

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 (1899–1973)

“By the by, who ever knew a man who never read or wrote neither who hadn’t got some small back parlour which he would call a study!”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
