Small Submerged Atoll

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or submerged:

“The whisky on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death;
Such waltzing was not easy.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

“... we’re not out to benefit society, to remold existence, to make industry safe for anyone except ourselves, to give any small peoples except ourselves their rights. We’re not out for submerged tenths, we’re not going to suffer over how the other half lives. We’re out for Mary’s job and Luella’s art, and Barbara’s independence and the rest of our individual careers and desires.”
—Anne O’Hagan (1869–?)
