Famous quotes containing the word size:

    “The obese is ... in a total delirium. For he is not only large, of a size opposed to normal morphology: he is larger than large. He no longer makes sense in some distinctive opposition, but in his excess, his redundancy.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “O hideous little bat, the size of snot,
    With polyhedral eye and shabby clothes,”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “There are some persons we could not cut down to size without diminishing ourselves as well.”
    —Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
