Famous quotes containing the word longfellow:

    Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
    “God is not dead; nor doth He sleep;
    The wrong shall fail,
    The right prevail,
    With peace on earth, good will to men.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    Cedar: Now would you tell the court what everybody at home thinks of Longfellow Deeds?
    Jane Faulkner: They think he’s pixilated.
    Amy Faulkner: Oh, yes. Pixilated.

    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)
