Famous quotes containing the words long and/or running:
“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)
“What was any art but an effort to make a sheath, a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itselflife hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose?”
—Willa Cather (18731947)
