Infinitely Close

Famous quotes containing the words infinitely and/or close:

“Literary gentlemen, editors, and critics think that they know how to write, because they have studied grammar and rhetoric; but they are egregiously mistaken.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Extraordinary creature! So close a friend, and yet so remote.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
