Lock

Famous quotes containing the word lock:

    There warn’t anybody at the church, except maybe a hog or two, for there warn’t any lock on the door, and hogs likes a puncheon floor in summertime because it’s cool. If you notice, most folks don’t go to church only when they’ve got to; but a hog is different.

    They learned to rattle the lock and key
    To give whatever might chance to be,
    Warning and time to be off in flight:

    Mrs. Robinson: I’m very neurotic.
    Calder Willingham (1923–1995)
