Minute Arc

Famous quotes containing the words minute and/or arc:

    “One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are; but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril.”
    —Joan Of Arc (c.1412–1431)
