Lock

Famous quotes containing the word lock:

“Don’t lock me in wedlock, I want
marriage, an
encounter....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“Time, which shows so vacant, indivisible, and divine in its coming, is slit and peddled into trifles and tatters. A door is to be painted, a lock to be repaired. I want wood, or oil, or meal, or salt; the house smokes, or I have a headache; then the tax; and an affair to be transacted with a man without heart or brains; and the stinging recollection of an injurious or very awkward word,—these eat up the hours.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Frankly, it’s good enough to lock up in a drawer.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
