Famous quotes containing the words bar and/or line:

    “The bar ... is an exercise in solitude. Above all else, it must be quiet, dark, very comfortable—and, contrary to modern mores, no music of any kind, no matter how faint. In sum, there should be no more than a dozen tables, and a clientele that doesn’t like to talk.”
    —Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)

    “Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
