Minute Halves

Famous quotes containing the words minute and/or halves:

“The minute you or anybody else knows what you are you are not it, you are what you or anybody else knows you are and as everything in living is made up of finding out what you are it is extraordinarily difficult really not to know what you are and yet to be that thing.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

“And plenitude of plan shall not suffice
Nor grief nor love shall be enough alone
To ratify my little halves who bear
Across an autumn freezing everywhere.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
