Bits Long

Famous quotes containing the words bits and/or long:

“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more.

We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

“It has long been a grave question whether any government, not too strong for the liberties of its people, can be strong enough to maintain its own existence, in great emergencies.”
