Famous quotes containing the words catch and/or phrases:
“Do not push so fast ahead, do slow down a bit! Otherwise you wont catch up with yourselves.”
—Franz Grillparzer (17911872)
“And would you be a poet
Before youve been to school?
Ah, well! I hardly thought you
So absolute a fool.
First learn to be spasmodic
A very simple rule.
For first you write a sentence,
And then you chop it small;
Then mix the bits, and sort them out
Just as they chance to fall:
The order of the phrases makes
No difference at all.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
