Small Block

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or block:

    I can hear, underground, that sucking and sobbing,
    In my veins, in my bones I feel it,—
    The small waters seeping upward,
    The tight grains parting at last.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    Of course I lie to people. But I lie altruistically—for our mutual good. The lie is the basic building block of good manners. That may seem mildly shocking to a moralist—but then what isn’t?
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
