Gate Material

Famous quotes containing the words gate and/or material:

“Duns at his lordship’s gate began to meet;
And brickdust Moll had screamed through half the street.
The turnkey now his flock returning sees,
Duly let out a-nights to steal for fees:
The watchful bailiffs take their silent stands,
And schoolboys lag with satchels in their hands.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

“This country is at present engaged in furnishing material for future authors; not in encouraging its living ones.”
