Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or institutions:

    “We are closed in, and the key is turned
    On our uncertainty;”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “This, our respectable daily life, on which the man of common sense, the Englishman of the world, stands so squarely, and on which our institutions are founded, is in fact the veriest illusion, and will vanish like the baseless fabric of a vision; but that faint glimmer of reality which sometimes illuminates the darkness of daylight for all men, reveals something more solid and enduring than adamant, which is in fact the cornerstone of the world.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
