Famous quotes containing the words metal and/or rank:

    “There were metal detectors on the staff-room doors and Hernandez usually had a drawer full of push-daggers, nunchuks, stun-guns, knucks, boot-knives, and whatever else the detectors had picked up. Like Friday morning at a South Miami high school.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    “I have not loved the world, nor the world me;
    I have not flatter’d its rank breath, nor bow’d
    To its idolatries a patient knee.”
