Famous quotes containing the words world and/or sanctuary:
“There will be a world of water shed
Upon the parting of your wives and you.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
