Block Length

Famous quotes containing the words block and/or length:

—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

“Whoever aims publicly at great things and at length perceives secretly that he is too weak to achieve them, has usually also insufficient strength to renounce his aims publicly, and then inevitably becomes a hypocrite.”
