Widespread Public

Famous quotes containing the words widespread and/or public:

“He took the props down used for propping open,
And set them up again for propping shut,
The widespread double doors two stories high.
The advantage-disadvantage of these doors
Was that tramp taking sanctuary there
Must leave them unlocked to betray his presence.”
—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.”
