Closed

Famous quotes containing the word closed:

“What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)

“A closed mouth catches no flies.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

“No domain of nature is quite closed to man at all times.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
