Long Roll

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or roll:

“Some critics are like chimneysweepers; they put out the fire below, and frighten the swallows from the nests above; they scrape a long time in the chimney, cover themselves with soot, and bring nothing away but a bag of cinders, and then sing out from the top of the house, as if they had built it.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

“Three meals of thin gruel a day, with an onion twice a week, and half a roll on Saturdays.”
