Lock

Famous quotes containing the word lock:

    There warn’t anybody at the church, except maybe a hog or two, for there warn’t any lock on the door, and hogs likes a puncheon floor in summertime because it’s cool. If you notice, most folks don’t go to church only when they’ve got to; but a hog is different.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    They lock me in this chair at eight a.m.
    and there are no signs to tell the way,
    just the radio beating to itself
    and the song that remembers
    more than I.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Benjamin: Are you always this much afraid of being alone?
    Mrs. Robinson: Yes.
    Benjamin: Well, why can’t you just lock the doors and go to bed?
    Mrs. Robinson: I’m very neurotic.
    Calder Willingham (1923–1995)
