Chiefly

Famous quotes containing the word chiefly:

““Please your honors,” said he, “I’m able,
By means of a secret charm, to draw
All creatures living beneath the sun,
That creep, or swim, or fly, or run,
After me so as you never saw!
And I chiefly use my charm
On creatures that do people harm,
The mole, and toad, and newt, and viper;
And people call me the Pied Piper.””
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

“Where is Hollywood located? Chiefly between the ears. In that part of the American brain lately vacated by God.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)

“Our literature, despite several false starts that promised much, is chiefly remarkable, now as always, for its respectable mediocrity.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
