Pieces Drop

Famous quotes containing the words pieces and/or drop:

“He who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child. He must take to pieces the whole web of his mind. He must unlearn much of that knowledge which has perhaps constituted hitherto his chief title to superiority. His very talents will be a hindrance to him.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

“As the clouds the clouds chase;
And we go,
And we drop like the fruits of the tree,
Even we,
Even so.”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)
