Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or path:
“Don: Why are they closed? Theyre all closed, every one of them.
Pawnbroker: Sure they are. Its Yom Kippur.
Don: Its what?
Pawnbroker: Its Yom Kippur, a Jewish holiday.
Don: It is? So what about Kellys and Gallaghers?
Pawnbroker: Theyre closed, too. Weve got an agreement. They keep closed on Yom Kippur and we dont open on St. Patricks.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“The living language is like a cowpath: it is the creation of the cows themselves, who, having created it, follow it or depart from it according to their whims or their needs. From daily use, the path undergoes change. A cow is under no obligation to stay in the narrow path she helped make, following the contour of the land, but she often profits by staying with it and she would be handicapped if she didnt know where it was or where it led to.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
