Extra Wide Gathers

Famous quotes containing the words extra, wide and/or gathers:

    Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    You ask what I have found and far and wide I go,
    Nothing but Cromwell’s house and Cromwell’s murderous crew,
    The lovers and the dancers are beaten into the clay,
    And the tall men and the swordsmen and the horsemen where are they?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The squirrel hoards nuts and the bee gathers honey, without knowing what they do, and they are thus provided for without selfishness or disgrace.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
