Famous quotes containing the words rank and/or structure:
“Pukka sahib or rank outsider—gentleman or bounder—and it’s accent, accent, all the way.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“When a house is tottering to its fall,
The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
