Minute Mile

Famous quotes containing the words minute and/or mile:

    Well, there’s no one at all, they do be saying, but is deserving of some punishment from the very minute of his birth.
    Augusta, Lady Gregory (1859–1932)

    I have got enough of the old masters! Brown says he has “shook” them, and I think I will shake them, too. You wander through a mile of picture galleries and stare stupidly at ghastly old nightmares done in lampblack and lightning, and listen to the ecstatic encomiums of the guides, and try to get up some enthusiasm, but it won’t come.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
