Famous quotes containing the words open and/or source:
“Youre gonna take the rap and play along. Youre gonna make every exact move I tell you. If you dont, Ill kill you. And Ill promise you one thing, it wont be quick. Ill break you first. You wont be able to answer a telephone or open a door without thinking This is it. And when it comes, it still wont be quick. And it wont be pretty.”
—Geoffrey Homes (19021977)
“I am no source of honey
So why should they turn on me?
Tomorrow I will be sweet God, I will set them free.
The box is only temporary.”
—Sylvia Plath (19321963)
