Em Short Handed

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or handed:

    It is only a short step from exaggerating what we can find in the world to exaggerating our power to remake the world. Expecting more novelty than there is, more greatness than there is, and more strangeness than there is, we imagine ourselves masters of a plastic universe. But a world we can shape to our will ... is a shapeless world.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    sailing
    In sunlight smiling under their goggles swapping batons back and
    forth
    And He who jumped without a chute and was handed one by a diving
    Buddy.
    James Dickey (b. 1923)
