Long Tails

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or tails:

“One of the ministers of Truro, when I asked what the fishermen did in the winter, answered that they did nothing but go a- visiting, sit about, and tell stories, though they worked hard in summer. Yet it is not a long vacation they get. I am sorry that I have not been there in winter to hear their yarns.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I think mice
Are rather nice.

Their tails are long,
Their faces small,
They haven’t any
Chins at all.”
