Famous quotes containing the word tall:
“Do you know how poetry started? I always think that it started when a cave boy came running back to the cave, through the tall grass, shouting as he ran, “Wolf, wolf,” and there was no wolf. His baboon-like parents, great sticklers for the truth, gave him a hiding, no doubt, but poetry had been born—the tall story had been born in the tall grass.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“He’s as tall a man as any’s in Illyria.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The tall camels of the spirit
Steer for their deserts,”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
