Famous quotes containing the words bit, word and/or length:
“Writing a novel without being asked seems a bit like having a baby when you have nowhere to live.”
—Lucy Ellman (b. 1956)
“a word too much repeated
falls out of being”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“And my spirit is grown to a lordly great compass within,
That the length and the breadth and the sweep of the marshes of
Glynn
Will work me no fear like the fear they have wrought me of yore
When length was failure, and when breadth was but bitterness sore,
And when terror and shrinking and dreary unnamable pain
Drew over me out of the merciless miles of the plain,—
Oh, now, unafraid, I am fain to face
The vast sweet visage of space.”
—Sidney Lanier (1842–1881)
