Famous quotes containing the words winter, closing and/or ceremony:

    “One aged man—one man—can’t keep a house,
    A farm, a countryside, or if he can,
    It’s thus he does it of a winter night.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Our two eyes do not make our lot better; one serves us to see the good things, the other the evils of life. A lot of people have the bad habit of closing the first, and very few close the second.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    “Every ceremony or rite has a value if it is performed without alteration. A ceremony is a book in which a great deal is written. Anyone who understands can read it. One rite often contains more than a hundred books.”
    —George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
