Close Approaches

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or approaches:

“I find nothing healthful or exalting in the smooth conventions of society. I do not like the close air of saloons. I begin to suspect myself to be a prisoner, though treated with all this courtesy and luxury. I pay a destructive tax in my conformity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Someone approaches to say his life is ruined
and to fall down at your feet
and pound his head upon the sidewalk.”
