Famous quotes containing the word sweep:
“I have to get your room ready for you: to sweep and dust, to fetch and carry. How could that degrade me if it did not degrade you to have it done for you?”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
“And my spirit is grown to a lordly great compass within,
That the length and the breadth and the sweep of the marshes of
Glynn
Will work me no fear like the fear they have wrought me of yore
When length was failure, and when breadth was but bitterness sore,
And when terror and shrinking and dreary unnamable pain
Drew over me out of the merciless miles of the plain,
Oh, now, unafraid, I am fain to face
The vast sweet visage of space.”
—Sidney Lanier (18421881)
“I make no secret of the fact that I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it. But you have to be efficient if youre going to be lazy.”
—Shirley Conran (b. 1932)
