Prime Elements

Famous quotes containing the words prime and/or elements:

    One wants in a Prime Minister a good many things, but not very great things.

    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    Icebergs behoove the soul
    (both being self-made from elements least visible
    to see them so; fleshed, fair, erected indivisible.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
