Longest

Famous quotes containing the word longest:

“Once I went so far as to slaughter a woodchuck which ravaged my bean-field,—effect his transmigration, as a Tartar would say,—and devour him, partly for experiment’s sake; but though it afforded me a momentary enjoyment, notwithstanding a musky flavor, I saw that the longest use would not make that a good practice, however it might seem to have your woodchucks ready dressed by the village butcher.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The best liar is he who makes the smallest amount of lying go the longest way.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“Daisies in water are the longest lasting
flower you can give to someone.
Fact.
Buy daisies.
Not roses.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
