Famous quotes containing the words line and/or runs:
“This is something that I cannot get overthat a whole line could be written by half a man, that a work could be built on the quicksand of a character.”
—Karl Kraus (18741936)
“And his wish is intimacy,
Intimater intimacy,
And a stricter privacy;
The impossible shall yet be done,
And, being two, shall still be one.
As the wave breaks to foam on shelves,
Then runs into a wave again,
So lovers melt their sundered selves,
Yet melted would be twain.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
