Famous quotes containing the words wire and/or size:

    God, I am caught in a snare!
    I know not what fine wire is round my throat;
    I only know I let him finger there
    My pulse of life, and let him nose like a stoat
    Who sniffs with joy before he drinks the blood.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Eat your meals according to the size of your bowl.
    Chinese proverb.
