Narrow

Famous quotes containing the word narrow:

    A narrow compass! and yet there
    Dwelt all that’s good, and all that’s fair!
    Edmund Waller (1606–1687)

    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)

    Comedy is an escape, not from truth but from despair; a narrow escape into faith.
    Christopher Fry (b. 1907)
