Famous quotes containing the words local and/or maximum:

    “The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
    Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
    And as imagination bodies forth
    The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
    Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
    A local habitation and a name.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
