Narrow

Famous quotes containing the word narrow:

    “There’s not a man or woman
    Born under the skies
    Dare match in learning with us two,
    And all day long we have found
    There’s not a thing but love can make
    The world a narrow pound.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    To judge from a single conversation, he made the impression of a narrow and very English mind; of one who paid for his rare elevation by general tameness and conformity. Off his own beat, his opinions were of no value.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Bring the balloon of the mind
    That bellies and drags in the wind
    Into its narrow shed.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
