Famous quotes containing the words stage, small and/or cell:
“Even the most incompetent English actor, coming on the stage briefly to announce the presence below of Lord and Lady Ditherege, gives forth a sound so soft and dulcet as almost to be a bar of music. But sometimes that is all there is. The words are lost in the graceful sweep of the notes.”
—Robert Benchley (18891945)
“It is in the small things we see it.
The childs first step,
as awesome as an earthquake.
The first time you rode a bike,
wallowing up the sidewalk.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“She that but little patience knew,
From childhood on, had now so much
A grey gull lost its fear and flew
Down to her cell and there alit,
And there endured her fingers touch
And from her fingers ate its bit.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
