Piece Exit Doors

Famous quotes containing the words piece, exit and/or doors:

    A flow’ret crushed in the bud,
    A nameless piece of Babyhood,
    Was in her cradle-coffin lying;
    Extinct, with scarce the sense of dying:
    Charles Lamb (1775–1834)

    Exit the mental moonlight, exit lex,
    Rex and principium, exit the whole
    Shebang. Exeunt omnes. Here was prose
    More exquisite than any tumbling verse:
    A still new continent in which to dwell.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Science has done great things for us; it has also pushed us hopelessly back. For, not content with filling its own place, it has tried to supersede everything else. It has challenged the super-eminence of religion; it has turned all philosophy out of doors except that which clings to its skirts; it has thrown contempt on all learning that does not depend on it; and it has bribed the skeptics by giving us immense material comforts.
    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
