Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or defiance:

    She was beautiful when she died—a hundred years ago.
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail—its roof may shake—the wind may blow through it—the storm may enter—the rain may enter—but the King of England cannot enter!—all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!
    William Pitt, The Elder, Lord Chatham (1708–1778)
