Famous quotes containing the words small and/or arms:

    “Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the lovliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head through the doorway.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “A tree the span of two arms starts from a tiny seedling.”
    —Chinese proverb.
