Short Distance

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or distance:

    There was never a century nor a country that was short of experts who knew the Deity’s mind and were willing to reveal it.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    A solitary traveler whom we saw perambulating in the distance loomed like a giant. He appeared to walk slouchingly, as if held up from above by straps under his shoulders, as much as supported by the plain below. Men and boys would have appeared alike at a little distance, there being no object by which to measure them. Indeed, to an inlander, the Cape landscape is a constant mirage.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
