Bits Long

Famous quotes containing the words bits and/or long:

“At death, you break up: the bits that were you
Start speeding away from each other for ever
With no one to see.”

“If it is asserted that civilization is a real advance in the condition of man,—and I think that it is, though only the wise improve their advantages,—it must be shown that it has produced better dwellings without making them more costly; and the cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
