Famous quotes containing the word articles:

    “A dwarf who brings a standard along with him to measure his own size—take my word, is a dwarf in more articles than one.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “There are several natural phenomena which I shall have to have explained to me before I can keep on going as a resident member of the human race. One is the metamorphosis which hats and suits undergo exactly one week after their purchase, whereby they are changed from smart, intensely becoming articles of apparel into something children use when they want to “dress up like daddy.””
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
