Famous quotes containing the words extension, larger and/or space:
“A dense undergrowth of extension cords sustains my upper world of lights, music, and machines of comfort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?

All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
