Soft Segments

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or segments:

    When as that Rubie, which you weare,
    Sunk from the tip of your soft eare,
    Will last to be a precious Stone,
    When all your world of Beautie ‘s gone.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
