Split

Famous quotes containing the word split:

    Some people ... can’t see the country for the money in their pockets. They think their state is the country, or the way they live is the country. And they’re willing to split the country because of it.
    Dan Totheroh (1895–1976)

    Let my hands find such symbols, that can be
    Unnoticed in the casual light of day,
    Lying in wait for half a century
    To split chance lives across, that had not dreamed
    Such coasts had echoed, or such seabirds screamed.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Politics is, as it were, the gizzard of society, full of grit and gravel, and the two political parties are its two opposite halves,—sometimes split into quarters, it may be, which grind on each other.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
