Famous quotes containing the words long and/or length:
“Long hours
trail in their purple
and long years are lost
in just this moment
while our souls are near,
our mouths separate.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Men sometimes speak as if the study of the classics would at length make way for more modern and practical studies; but the adventurous student will always study classics, in whatever language they may be written and however ancient they may be. For what are the classics but the noblest recorded thoughts of man?... We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
