Tight Turns

Famous quotes containing the words tight and/or turns:

“Oh! what a snug little Island,
A right little, tight little Island!”
—Thomas Dibdin (1771–1841)

“The sense of an entailed disadvantage—the deformed foot doubtfully hidden by the shoe, makes a restlessly active spiritual yeast, and easily turns a self-centred, unloving nature into an Ishmaelite. But in the rarer sort, who presently see their own frustrated claim as one among a myriad, the inexorable sorrow takes the form of fellowship and makes the imagination tender.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
