Famous quotes containing the words command and/or line:
“Under bare Ben Bulbens head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago, a church stands near,
By the road an ancient cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase;
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman pass by!”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Any walk through a park that runs between a double line of mangy trees and passes brazenly by the ladies toilet is invariably known as Lovers Lane.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (18961940)
