Fit

Famous quotes containing the word fit:

    I do not think myself to be a worm, and a grub, grass of the field fit only to be burned, a clod, a morsel of putrid atoms that should be thrown to the dungheap, ready for the nethermost pit. Nor if I did should I therefore expect to sit with Angels and Archangels.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    Joshua fit de battle ob Jerico, Jerico, Jerico,
    Joshua fit de battle ob Jerico,
    An’ de walls come tumblin’ down.
    —Unknown. Joshua Fit De Battle of Jericho (l. 1–3)

    A masterpiece of fiction is an original world and as such is not likely to fit the world of the reader.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
