Famous quotes containing the words feet and/or long:
“Listen, listen. The step
Of iron feet again. And again wild.”

“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
