Exchanging Pieces

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)

    When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)
