Store

Famous quotes containing the word store:

    I see now that we store him up
    year after year, old suicides
    and I know at the news of your death,
    a terrible taste for it, like salt.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Farmers in overalls and wide-brimmed straw hats lounge about the store on hot summer days, when the most common sound is the thump-thump-thump of a hound’s leg on the floor as he scratches contentedly. Oldtime hunters say that fleas are a hound’s salvation: his constant twisting and clawing in pursuit of the tormentors keeps his joints supple.
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven...
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 6:19,20.

    Jesus.
