Famous quotes containing the words minute and/or mile:
“Man, as long as he lives, is immortal. One minute before his death he shall be immortal. But one minute later, God wins.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
“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)
