Famous quotes containing the word door:

“You see, after the war—and don’t forget it lasted a hundred years—thousands of us went from door to door, asking for honest work, and we were whipped for begging. The ruling class didn’t say, “Work or starve.” They said “Starve, for you shall not work.””
—Sonya Levien (1895–1960)

“To set up as a standard of public morality a notion which can neither be defined nor conceived is to open the door to every kind of tyranny.”
