Long

Famous quotes containing the word long:

    But now he snapped his eyes three times;
    Then shook his lantern, saying, “He’s
    ‘Bout out!” and took the long way home
    By road, a matter of several miles.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Indeed it is better to postpone, lest either we complete too little by hurrying, or wander too long in completing it.
    Tertullian (c. 150–230)

    One cannot long remain so absorbed in contemplation of emptiness without being increasingly attracted to it. In vain one bestows on it the name of infinity; this does not change its nature. When one feels such pleasure in non- existence, one’s inclination can be completely satisfied only by completely ceasing to exist.
    Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
