Spread

Famous quotes containing the word spread:

    A little quaker, the whole body of him trembling,
    His absurd whiskers sticking out like a cartoon-mouse,
    His feet like small leaves,
    Little lizard-feet,
    Whitish and spread wide when he tried to struggle away,
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    All catches alight
    At the spread of spring:
    Birds crazed with flight
    Branches that fling
    Leaves up to the light
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The more rapidly truth is spread among mankind the better it will be for them. Only let us be sure that it is the truth.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
