Famous quotes containing the word narrow:
“Less than five hundred souls inhabit the three quaint streets and the few narrow by-lanes and scattered farmsteads that constitute this small, decaying watering-place which may, indeed, be called a “backwater of life” without disrespect to its natives who possess, to this day, a salty individuality of their own.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“On this narrow planet, we have only the choice between two unknown worlds. One of them tempts us—ah! what a dream, to live in that!—the other stifles us at the first breath.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
“Highbury bore me. Richmond and Kew
Undid me. By Richmond I raised my knees
Supine on the floor of a narrow canoe.”

Under my feet.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
