Famous quotes containing the word bit:

    The Lord made Adam, the Lord made Eve, he made ‘em both a little bit naive.
    E.Y. Harburg (1898–1981)

    With a little bit of luck, you’ll never work!
    Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)

    One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the Beatles were, and that’s what I resent. I didn’t know, I didn’t foresee. It happened bit by bit, gradually, until this complete craziness is surrounding you, and you’re doing exactly what you don’t want to do with people you can’t stand—the people you hated when you were ten.
    John Lennon (1940–1980)
