Famous quotes containing the words time and/or line:
“For every time She shouted ‘Fire!’
They only answered ‘Little Liar’!”
—Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)
“There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. It’s another thing, though, to hold up that cloth for inspection.”
—John Gregory Brown (20th century)
