Grand Lobby

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or lobby:

    “Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
    —Bible: New Testament Jesus, in John, 8:32.

    These words are inscribed on the wall of the main lobby at the CIA headquarters, Langley, Virginia.
