Locked

Famous quotes containing the word locked:

    Though I have locked my gate on them
    I pity all the young,
    I know what devil’s trade they learn
    From those they live among,
    Their drink, their pitch and toss by day,
    Their robbery by night....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    She’s me. She represents everything I feel, everything I want to be. I’m so locked into her that what she says is unimportant.
    Diane Valleta, White American suburbanite. As quoted in the New York Times, p. A13 (July 29, 1992)

    ... I was crying partly because I felt that this was expected of me, partly from genuine repentance, but partly also because of a deeper grief which is peculiar to childhood and not easy to convey: a sense of desolate loneliness and helplessness, of being locked up not only in a hostile world but in a world of good and evil where the rules were such that it was actually not possible for me to keep them.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
