Famous quotes containing the words double and/or slit:
“since I see
Your double heart,
Farewell my part!”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?1542)
“Time, which shows so vacant, indivisible, and divine in its coming, is slit and peddled into trifles and tatters. A door is to be painted, a lock to be repaired. I want wood, or oil, or meal, or salt; the house smokes, or I have a headache; then the tax; and an affair to be transacted with a man without heart or brains; and the stinging recollection of an injurious or very awkward word,these eat up the hours.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
