Deal Closed

Famous quotes containing the words deal and/or closed:

    Brittle beauty that nature made so frail,
    Whereof the gift is small, and short the season,
    Flow’ring today, tomorrow apt to fail,
    Tickle treasure, abhorred of reason,
    Dangerous to deal with, vain, of none avail,
    Costly in keeping, passed not worth two peason,
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    Since time immemorial, one the dry earth, scraped to the bone, of this immeasurable country, a few men travelled ceaselessly, they owned nothing, but they served no one, free and wretched lords in a strange kingdom. Janine did not know why this idea filled her with a sadness so soft and so vast that she closed her eyes. She only knew that this kingdom, which had always been promised to her would never be her, never again, except at this moment.
    Albert Camus 1013–1960, French-Algerian novelist, dramatist, philosopher. Janine in Algeria, in The Fall, p. 27, Gallimard (9157)
