Famous quotes containing the words longest and/or pipe:
“The ensuing year will be the longest of my life, and the last of such hateful labours. The next we will sow our cabbages together.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“If you would get money as a writer or lecturer, you must be popular, which is to go down perpendicularly.... You are paid for being something less than a man. The state does not commonly reward a genius any more wisely. Even the poet laureate would rather not have to celebrate the accidents of royalty. He must be bribed with a pipe of wine; and perhaps another poet is called away from his muse to gauge that very pipe.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
