Famous quotes containing the word columns:

    “We are a race of tit-men, and soar but little higher in our intellectual flights than the columns of the daily paper.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
    When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “A few more days, and this essay will follow the Defensio Populi to the dust and silence of the upper shelf.... For a month or two it will occupy a few minutes of chat in every drawing-room, and a few columns in every magazine; and it will then ... be withdrawn, to make room for the forthcoming novelties.”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
