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.”

“Oh sure, everyone goes back to the earth at some point, but life itself is a thread that is never broken, never lost. Do you know why? Because each man makes a knot in the thread during his lifetime: it is the work he has done and that’s what gives life to life in the long stretch of time: the usefulness of man on this earth.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
