Famous quotes containing the words large, address and/or aware:
“Frequently also some fair-weather finery ripped off a vessel by a storm near the coast was nailed up against an outhouse. I saw fastened to a shed near the lighthouse a long new sign with the words “ANGLO SAXON” on it in large gilt letters, as if it were a useless part which the ship could afford to lose, or which the sailors had discharged at the same time with the pilot. But it interested somewhat as if it had been a part of the Argo, clipped off in passing through the Symplegades.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There’s nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.”

“I’ve always got such high expectations for myself. I’m aware of them, but I can’t relax them.”
