Tiny

Famous quotes containing the word tiny:

    He that has and a little tiny wit—
    With heigh-ho, the wind and the rain—
    Must make content with his fortunes fit,
    Though the rain it raineth every day.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Everything seems beautiful because you don’t understand. Those flying fish, they’re not leaping for joy, they’re jumping in terror. Bigger fish want to eat them. That luminous water, it takes its gleam from millions of tiny dead bodies, the glitter of putrescence. There’s no beauty here, only death and decay.
    Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)
