Spaced En Dash

Famous quotes containing the words spaced and/or dash:

    Gascoigne, Ben Jonson, Greville, Raleigh, Donne,
    Poets who wrote great poems, one by one,
    And spaced by many years, each line an act
    Through which few labor, which no men retract.
    This passion is the scholar’s heritage,
    Yvor Winters (1900–1968)

    It is very rare that you meet with obstacles in this world which the humblest man has not faculties to surmount. It is true we may come to a perpendicular precipice, but we need not jump off, nor run our heads against it. A man may jump down his own cellar stairs, or dash his brains out against his chimney, if he is mad.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
