Famous quotes containing the word bit:
“One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the Beatles were, and that’s what I resent. I didn’t know, I didn’t foresee. It happened bit by bit, gradually, until this complete craziness is surrounding you, and you’re doing exactly what you don’t want to do with people you can’t stand—the people you hated when you were ten.”
—John Lennon (1940–1980)
“We have paid for nothing more dearly than for the little bit of human reason and the sense of freedom that currently constitutes our pride.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“A Bird came down the Walk—
He did not know I saw—
He bit an Angleworm in halves”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
