Trap Door

Famous quotes containing the words trap and/or door:

“And boys, be in nothing so moderate as in love of man, a clever
servant, insufferable master.

“The heart of Paris is like nothing so much as the unending interior of a house. Buildings become furniture, courtyards become carpets and arrases, the streets are like galleries, the boulevards conservatories. It is a house, one or two centuries old, rich, bourgeois, distinguished. The only way of going out, or shutting the door behind you, is to leave the centre.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
