Point Lock

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or lock:

“Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality.”
—C.S. (Clive Staples)

“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)
