Fourth Floor

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or floor:

    The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.
    —Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)

    The distant box is open. A sound of grain
    Poured over the floor in some eagerness we
    Rise with the night let out of the box of wind.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
