Famous quotes containing the word bit:
“The women of my mother’s generation had, in the main, only one decision to make about their lives: who they would marry. From that, so much else followed: where they would live, in what sort of conditions, whether they would be happy or sad or, so often, a bit of both. There were roles and there were rules.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
“We have paid for nothing more dearly than for the little bit of human reason and the sense of freedom that currently constitutes our pride.”

“Writing a novel without being asked seems a bit like having a baby when you have nowhere to live.”
