Famous quotes containing the words open and/or defence:
“A temple, you know, was anciently an open place without a roof, whose walls served merely to shut out the world and direct the mind toward heaven; but a modern meeting-house shuts out the heavens, while it crowds the world into still closer quarters.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“There can be no defence like elaborate courtesy.”
—E.V. (Edward Verrall)
