Pieces

Famous quotes containing the word pieces:

    Truth is one, but error proliferates. Man tracks it down and cuts it up into little pieces hoping to turn it into grains of truth. But the ultimate atom will always essentially be an error, a miscalculation.
    René Daumal (1908–1944)

    I saw
    that from his lower lip
    if you could call it a lip—
    grim, wet, and weaponlike,
    hung five old pieces of fish-line,
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)
