Long Distance

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

“It is no small mischief to a boy, that many of the best years of his life should be devoted to the learning of what can never be of any real use to any human being. His mind is necessarily rendered frivolous and superficial by the long habit of attaching importance to words instead of things; to sound instead of sense.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)

“Letters to absence can a voice impart,
And lend a tongue when distance gags the heart.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
