Longest Running

Famous quotes containing the words longest and/or running:

“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)

“‘Tis with my mind
As with the tide swelled up unto his height,
That makes a still-stand, running neither way.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
