Pieces

Famous quotes containing the word pieces:

    The chartered recountants take the thing to pieces and put it together again. They enjoy it. The artist takes it to pieces and makes a new thing, new things. He must.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    Joy has no cause:
    Though cut to pieces with a knife,
    Cannot keep silence. What else should magnetize
    Our drudging, hypocritical, ecstatic life?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I am grown old and my memory is not as active as it used to be. When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now, and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this, but we all have to do it.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
