Famous quotes containing the words subtle and/or mind:
“The half-caught smile,
the subtle little sort of differentiating
between the thing that’s said
and that’s said not;
the “have I seen you somewhere else?
forgot? impossible.””
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
““Suppose they had saved up all my punishments?” she went on, talking more to herself than to the kitten. “What would they do at the end of a year? I should be sent to prison, I suppose, when the day came. Or—let me see—suppose each punishment was to be going without a dinner: then, when the miserable day came, I should have to go without fifty dinners at once! Well, I shouldn’t mind that much! I’d far rather go without them than eat them!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
