Small Size

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or size:

“We must heap up a great pile of doing, for a small diameter of being.”

“Delusions that shrink to the size of a woman’s glove,
Then sicken inclusively outwards:

Intoned by reality, larded with technical terms,
Each one double-yolked with meaning and meaning’s rebuttal:
For the skirl of that bulletin unpicks the world like a knot....”
