Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or character:
“One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the Beatles were, and thats what I resent. I didnt know, I didnt foresee. It happened bit by bit, gradually, until this complete craziness is surrounding you, and youre doing exactly what you dont want to do with people you cant standthe people you hated when you were ten.”
—John Lennon (19401980)
“Have you not budged an inch, then? Such is the daily news. Its facts appear to float in the atmosphere.... We should wash ourselves clean of such news. Of what consequence, though our planet explode, if there is no character involved in the explosion? In health we have not the least curiosity about such events. We do not live for idle amusement. I would not run round a corner to see the world blow up.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
