Opportunity Bit

Famous quotes containing the words opportunity and/or bit:

    If, at any time, it comes into my head, that a present is due from me to somebody, I am puzzled what to give, until the opportunity is gone.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A slight digression: that bit about my mother was a deliberate lie. In reality, she was a woman of the people, simple and coarse, sordidly dressed in a kind of blouse hanging loose at the waist. I could, of course, have crossed it out, but I purposely leave it there as a sample of one of my essential traits: my light-hearted, inspired lying.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
