Walls

Famous quotes containing the word walls:

“Though it seems improbable on the face of it
You must master the huge retards and have faith in the slow
Blossoming of haystacks, stairways, walls of convolvulus,
Until the moon can do no more. Exhausted,
You get out of bed. Your project is completed
Though the experiment is a mess.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“The more enlightened our houses are, the more their walls ooze ghosts.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

“Deep are the foundations of sincerity. Even stone walls have their foundation below the frost.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
