Narrow

Famous quotes containing the word narrow:

    Each in his narrow cell for ever laid,
    The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    Now narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficently over others; they go the way their nature guides them. Add to this the guidance of interest, and you will have the key to most social riddles.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “All day long from mid-day
    We have talked in the one place,
    All day long from shadowless noon
    We have gone round and round
    In the narrow theme of love
    Like an old horse in a pound.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
