Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:
“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 Bessies wedding. Then came a long account of bridesmaids, and breakfast, and everything else, except the name of the bride-groom! That of course didnt matter: the great thing was to get married somehow.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.”
—Nelson Mandela (b. 1918)
