Famous quotes containing the words light and/or pieces:
“Hold you there, neither a strange hand nor my own, neither heavy nor light shall touch my bum.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
