Famous quotes containing the words spare and/or bits:
“Wee, modest, crimson-tipped flowr,
Thous met me in an evil hour;
For I maun crush amang the stoure
Thy slender stem:
To spare thee now is past my powr,
Thou bonnie gem.”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they wont tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are societys tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (18281906)
