Big Ears

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or ears:

    Every thing in this world, said my father, is big with jest,—and has wit in it, and instruction too,—if we can but find it out.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    I press not to the quire, nor dare I greet
    The holy place with my unhallowed feet;
    My unwashed Muse pollutes not things divine,
    Nor mingles her profaner notes with thine;
    Here humbly at the porch she listening stays,
    And with glad ears sucks in thy sacred lays.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
