Famous quotes containing the words block and/or size:

    Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 16:23.

    Jesus to Peter.

    One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
