Famous quotes containing the words small and/or arms:

    “Man staggers through life yapped at by his reason, pulled and shoved by his appetites, whispered to by fears, beckoned by hopes. Small wonder that what he craves most is self-forgetting.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
    I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
    Under my head till morning; out the rain
    Is full of ghosts tonight,”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
