Famous quotes containing the words space and/or point:

“The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.”
—Freya Stark (1893–1993)

“The best joke-tellers are those who have the patience to wait for conversation to come around to the point where the jokes in their repertoire have application.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
