Curtain Wall System

Famous quotes containing the words curtain, wall and/or system:

“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them. Their old passion for holding the centre of the stage guides their uncertain footsteps to where the footlights shine, and summons up a wintry smile when the curtain rises.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)

“Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a snake.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 10:8.

“A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
