Long Distance

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

“I don’t know how long it has been since my ear has been free from the roll of a drum. It is the music I sleep by, and I love it.... I shall remain here while anyone remains, and do whatever comes to my hand. I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)

“Why does the past look so enticing to us? For the same reason why from a distance a meadow with flowers looks like a flower bed.”
