Cut Size

Famous quotes containing the words cut and/or size:

“Those friends have left.
Only stumps remain
in the thickets
and we’ve grown old, besides.
Love’s been cut off
at the roots.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“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)
