Thousand Feet

Famous quotes containing the words thousand and/or feet:

    Was this the face that launched a thousand ships,
    And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
    Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.—
    Her lips suck forth my soul; see where it flies!—
    Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
    Here will I dwell, for heaven be in these lips,
    And all is dross that is not Helena.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    It has become customary to say that a man needs only six feet of land. But a corpse needs six feet, not a person.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
