Famous quotes containing the words master and/or lock:
“He may have been a master of his fate,
And of his atoms,—ready as another
In his emergence to exonerate
His father and his mother;”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
“and wife or husband
who does not lock the door of the marriage
against you, finds you
not as unwelcome third in the room, but as
the light of the moon on flesh and hair.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
