Giant/people

Famous quotes containing the words giant and/or people:

“In frames as large as rooms that face all ways
And block the ends of streets with giant loaves,
Screen graves with custard, cover slums with praise
Of motor-oil and cuts of salmon, shine
Perpetually these sharply-pictured groves
Of how life should be.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Humbly to ask a favour of people who are on the point of knocking your brains out sometimes produces good results.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
