Store Opens

Famous quotes containing the words store and/or opens:

“There used to be a thing or a commodity we put great store by. It was called the People. Find out where the People have gone. I don’t mean the square-eyed toothpaste-and-hair-dye people or the new-car-or-bust people, or the success-and-coronary people. Maybe they never existed, but if there ever were the People, that’s the commodity the Declaration was talking about, and Mr. Lincoln.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)

“I can smell
the blade that opens the hole
and the pudgy white fingers

that shake out the intestines
like a hankie.”
—Philip Levine (b. 1928)
