Famous quotes containing the words spoke and/or length:

    “We can remember as easily as the day we were born
    The maggots we passed on the way and how the day bled
    And the night too on hearing us, though we spoke only our childish
    Ideas and never tried to impress anybody even when somewhat older.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “All expression of truth does at length take this deep ethical form.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
