Famous quotes containing the words long and/or barrows:
“You remind me of a child-friend who once wrote to tell me about her sister being married. “Now I will tell you all about Bessie’s wedding.” Then came a long account of bridesmaids, and breakfast, and everything else, except the name of the bride-groom! That of course didn’t matter: the great thing was to get married somehow.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“If you want an expert on war, you get a retired general. I’m not exactly a general, but I am retired.”
—Sydney Biddle Barrows (b. 1952)
