Long Distance Footpath

Famous quotes containing the words long, distance and/or footpath:

    “All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “One sees qualities at a distance and defects at close range.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “Jog on, jog on, the footpath way,
    And merrily hent the stile-a.
    A merry heart goes all the day,
    Your sad tires in a mile-a.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
