Famous quotes containing the words stock and/or split:

    “I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “Let my hands find such symbols, that can be
    Unnoticed in the casual light of day,
    Lying in wait for half a century
    To split chance lives across, that had not dreamed
    Such coasts had echoed, or such seabirds screamed.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
