Roof Line

Famous quotes containing the words roof and/or line:

    Nor does the man sitting by the hearth beneath his roof better escape his fated doom.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
