Tall Stature

Famous quotes containing the words tall and/or stature:

“The tall camels of the spirit
Steer for their deserts,”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

“Every American, to the last man, lays claim to a “sense” of humor and guards it as his most significant spiritual trait, yet rejects humor as a contaminating element wherever found. America is a nation of comics and comedians; nevertheless, humor has no stature and is accepted only after the death of the perpetrator.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
