Famous quotes containing the word door:

    When they sometimes
    Come down the stairs at night and stand perplexed
    Behind the door and headboard of the bed,
    Brushing their chalky skull with chalky fingers,
    With sounds like the dry rattling of a shutter,
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    To set up as a standard of public morality a notion which can neither be defined nor conceived is to open the door to every kind of tyranny.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
