Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or depth:

    “Her crop was a miscellany
    When all was said and done,
    A little bit of everything,
    A great deal of none.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
    Tears from the depth of some divine despair
    Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
    In looking on the happy autumn-fields,
    And thinking of the days that are no more.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
