Famous quotes containing the words line and/or width:
“Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists. The strands are all there: to the memory nothing is ever really lost.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
“Newly stumbling to and fro
All they find, outside the fold,
Is a wretched width of cold.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
