Miniature Score

Famous quotes containing the words miniature and/or score:

    To step over the low wall that divides
    Road from concrete walk above the shore
    Brings sharply back something known long before
    The miniature gaiety of seasides.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Earthly minds, like mud walls, resist the strongest batteries: and though, perhaps, sometimes the force of a clear argument may make some impression, yet they nevertheless stand firm, and keep out the enemy, truth, that would captivate or disturb them. Tell a man passionately in love, that he is jilted; bring a score of witnesses of the falsehood of his mistress, it is ten to one but three kind words of hers shall invalidate all their testimonies.
    John Locke (1632–1704)
