Famous quotes containing the words bar and/or line:

    “O City city, I can sometimes hear
    Beside a public bar in Lower Thames Street,
    The pleasant whining of a mandolin
    And a clatter and a chatter from within
    Where fishmen lounge at noon.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Next to the originator of a good sentence is the first quoter of it. Many will read the book before one thinks of quoting a passage. As soon as he has done this, that line will be quoted east and west.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
