Size Violin

Famous quotes containing the words size and/or violin:

“Delusions that shrink to the size of a woman’s glove,
Then sicken inclusively outwards:
. . . the incessant recital
Intoned by reality, larded with technical terms,
Each one double-yolked with meaning and meaning’s rebuttal:
For the skirl of that bulletin unpicks the world like a knot....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
