Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or castle:
“Men are afraid to rock the boat in which they hope to drift safely through life’s currents, when, actually, the boat is stuck on a sandbar. They would be better off to rock the boat and try to shake it loose, or, better still, jump in the water and swim for the shore.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“Let me be at the place of the castle.
Let the castle be within me.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
