Famous quotes containing the words fragment and/or length:
“some little plan or chart,
Some fragment from his dream of human life,
Shaped by himself with newly-learned art;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Punishment followed on a grand scale. For ten days, an unconscionable length of time, my father blessed the palms of his child’s outstretched, four-year-old hands with a sharp switch. Seven strokes a day on each hand; that makes one hundred forty strokes and then some. This put an end to the child’s innocence.”
—Christoph Meckel (20th century)
