Entrance Front

Famous quotes containing the words entrance and/or front:

“A transition from an author’s books to his conversation, is too often like an entrance into a large city, after a distant prospect. Remotely, we see nothing but spires of temples, and turrets of palaces, and imagine it the residence of splendor, grandeur, and magnificence; but, when we have passed the gates, we find it perplexed with narrow passages, disgraced with despicable cottages, embarrassed with obstructions, and clouded with smoke.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“my face I don’t mind it,
Because I’m behind it—
‘Tis the folks in the front that I jar.”
—Anthony Euwer (1877–1955)
