Big Singing

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or singing:

“I hate England and its hopelessness. I hate [Arnold] Bennett’s resignation. Tragedy ought really to be a great big kick at misery.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“The night in prison was novel and interesting enough.... I found that even here there was a history and a gossip which never circulated beyond the walls of the jail. Probably this is the only house in the town where verses are composed, which are afterward printed in a circular form, but not published. I was shown quite a long list of verses which were composed by some young men who had been detected in an attempt to escape, who avenged themselves by singing them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
