Famous quotes containing the words small, capital and/or reversed:
“A small man can be just as exhausted as a great man.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“His reversed body gracefully curved, his brown legs hoisted like a Tarentine sail, his joined ankles tacking, Van gripped with splayed hands the brow of gravity, and moved to and fro, veering and sidestepping, opening his mouth the wrong way, and blinking in the odd bilboquet fashion peculiar to eyelids in his abnormal position. Even more extraordinary than the variety and velocity of the movements he made in imitation of animal hind legs was the effortlessness of his stance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
