Long

Famous quotes containing the word long:

“Some critics are like chimneysweepers; they put out the fire below, and frighten the swallows from the nests above; they scrape a long time in the chimney, cover themselves with soot, and bring nothing away but a bag of cinders, and then sing out from the top of the house, as if they had built it.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

“It doesn’t matter whether a cat is black or white; as long at it can catch mice, it’s a good cat.”

“Love is a landscape the long mountains
define but don’t
shut off from the
unseeable distance.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
