Famous quotes containing the words robbers and/or roost:
“I am not like that. I pay rent, am addled
By illegible landlords, run, if robbers call.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
““Our snowstorms as a rule
Aren’t looked on as man-killers, and although
I’d rather be the beast that sleeps the sleep
Under it all, his door sealed up and lost,
Than the man fighting it to keep above it,
Yet think of the small birds at roost and not
In nests....””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
