Word Length

Famous quotes containing the words word and/or length:

    Every word wants to be taken literally, else it decays into a lie. But one mustn’t take any word literally, else the world becomes a madhouse.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    At length to hospital
    This man was limited,
    Where screens leant on the wall
    And idle headphones hung.
    Since he would soon be dead
    They let his wife come along
    And pour out tea, each day.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
