Puzzle Pieces

Famous quotes containing the words puzzle and/or pieces:

    Waiting for the race to become official, he began to feel as if he had as much effect on the final outcome of the operation as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle has to its predetermined final design. Only the addition of the missing fragments of the puzzle would reveal if the picture was as he guessed it would be.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    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)
