Famous quotes containing the words long and/or periods:

    Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    How easily and cleverly do I write just now! I am really pleased with myself; words come skipping to me like lambs upon Moffat Hill; and I turn my periods smoothly and imperceptibly like a skilful wheelwright turning tops in a turning-loom. There’s fancy! There’s simile!
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
