Small Frame

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or frame:

“I went to a literary gathering once.... The place was filled with people who looked as if they had been scraped up out of drains. The ladies ran to draped plush dresses—for Art; to wreaths of silken flowerets in the hair—for Femininity; and, somewhere between the two adornments, to chain-drive pince-nez—for Astigmatism. The gentlemen were small and somewhat in need of dusting.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

“We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.”
—Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)
