Famous quotes containing the words side, split and/or sit:

Both foot and hand go cold;
But belly, God send thee good ale enough;
Whether it be new or old!”

“William James once said: “Progress is a terrible thing.” It is more than that: it is also a highly ambiguous notion. For who knows but that a little further on the way a bridge may not have collapsed or a crevice split the earth?”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“As I sit looking out of a window of the building
I wish I did not have to write the instructional manual on the uses
of a new metal.
I look down into the street and see people, each walking with an
inner peace,
And envy them—they are so far away from me!
Not one of them has to worry about getting out this manual on
schedule”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
