Famous quotes containing the words big and/or bear:

    “... there is ... a big aspect of play in writing novels, and making the story more and more elaborate is just more and more fun.”

    “A strange thing surely that my Heart, when love had come unsought
    Upon the Norman upland or in that poplar shade,
    Should find no burden but itself and yet should be worn out.
    It could not bear that burden and therefore it went mad.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
