Roof Line

Famous quotes containing the words roof and/or line:

“A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
