Soft Segments

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or segments:

    Plead, Sleep, my cause, and make her soft like thee,
    That she in peace may wake and pity me.
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    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)
