Bit Bigger

Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or bigger:

    “Across the lonely beach we flit,
    One little sandpiper and I;
    And fast I gather, bit by bit,
    The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
    The wild waves reach their hands for it,
    The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
    As up and down the beach we flit—
    One little sandpiper and I.”
    —Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

    “History
    Coming too close
    Is monstrous, like a doll
    That is alive and bigger than the child
    Who tries to hold it.”
    —Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)
