Famous quotes containing the words big and/or steal:

    “The big toad sits in my writing room
    preventing me from writing. I am a flower
    who dries out under her hot breath.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “There are lone figures armed only with ideas, sometimes with just one idea, who blast away whole epochs in which we are enwrapped like mummies. Some are powerful enough to resurrect the dead. Some steal on us unawares and put a spell over us which it takes centuries to throw off. Some put a curse on us, for our stupidity and inertia, and then it seems as if God himself were unable to lift it.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)
