Famous quotes containing the words key and/or storage:

    With one day’s reading a man may have the key in his hands.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
