Longest Common

Famous quotes containing the words longest and/or common:

“Once I went so far as to slaughter a woodchuck which ravaged my bean-field,—effect his transmigration, as a Tartar would say,—and devour him, partly for experiment’s sake; but though it afforded me a momentary enjoyment, notwithstanding a musky flavor, I saw that the longest use would not make that a good practice, however it might seem to have your woodchucks ready dressed by the village butcher.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“All men whilst they are awake are in one common world: but each of them, when he is asleep, is in a world of his own.”
—Plutarch (46–120)
