Famous quotes containing the words exchanging and/or pieces:
“Poetry is a beautiful way of spoiling prose, and the laborious art of exchanging plain sense for harmony.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“I am grown old and my memory is not as active as it used to be. When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now, and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this, but we all have to do it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
