Store

Famous quotes containing the word store:

    “The first general store opened on the ‘Cold Saturday’ of the winter of 1833 ...

    “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)

    “Here, lads, we live by the law of the taiga. But even here people manage to live. D’you know who are the ones the camps finish off? Those who lick other men’s left-overs, those who set store by the doctors, and those who peach on their mates.”
    —Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
