Famous quotes containing the word pieces:
“He who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child. He must take to pieces the whole web of his mind. He must unlearn much of that knowledge which has perhaps constituted hitherto his chief title to superiority. His very talents will be a hindrance to him.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“A quarter of an hour is worth a thousand pieces of gold.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Pieces of eight! pieces of eight! pieces of eight!”
