Famous quotes containing the words set and/or design:
“Do I terrify?—
The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?
The sour breath
Will vanish in a day.”

“Nowadays the host does not admit you to his hearth, but has got the mason to build one for yourself somewhere in his alley, and hospitality is the art of keeping you at the greatest distance. There is as much secrecy about the cooking as if he had a design to poison you.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
