Long Adventures

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or adventures:

    This long last childhood
    Nothing provides for.
    What can it do each day
    But hunt that imminent door
    Through which all that understood
    Has hidden away?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    What a large volume of adventures may be grasped within this little span of life by him who interests his heart in every thing, and who, having eyes to see, what time and chance are perpetually holding out to him as he journeyeth on his way, misses nothing he can fairly lay his hands on.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
