Lock Built

Famous quotes containing the words lock and/or built:

    and wife or husband
    who does not lock the door of the marriage
    against you, finds you
    not as unwelcome third in the room, but as
    the light of the moon on flesh and hair.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The Germans are called brutal, the Spanish cruel, the Americans superficial, and so on; but we are perfide Albion, the island of hypocrites, the people who have built up an Empire with a Bible in one hand, a pistol in the other, and financial concessions in both pockets. Is the charge true? I think it is.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
