Famous quotes containing the words long and/or standing:
“It never worked for me.
Something to do with violence
A long way back, and wrong rewards,
And arrogant eternity.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
