Inches Thick

Famous quotes containing the words inches and/or thick:

“The daily arguments over putting away the toys or practicing the piano defeat us so easily. We see them coming yet they frustrate us time and time again. In many cases, we are mothers and fathers who have managed budgets and unruly bosses and done difficult jobs well through sheer tenacity and dogged preparation. So why are we unable to persuade someone three feet tall to step into six inches of water at bathtime?”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

“The flowers left thick at nightfall in the wood
This Eastertide call into mind the men
Now far from home,”
—Edward Thomas (1878–1917)
