Famous quotes containing the words line and/or openings:
“As for conforming outwardly, and living your own life inwardly, I do not think much of that. Let not your right hand know what your left hand does in that line of business. It will prove a failure.... It is a greater strain than any soul can long endure. When you get God to pulling one way, and the devil the other, each having his feet well braced,to say nothing of the conscience sawing transversely,almost any timber will give way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“There are a thousand unnoticed openings ... which let a penetrating eye at once into a mans soul; and I maintain ... that a man of sense does not lay down his hat in coming into a room,or take it up in going out of it, but something escapes, which discovers him.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
