Mound Building

Famous quotes containing the words mound and/or building:

“A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street,
Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder’s gone,
I must lie down where all the ladders start,
In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The limits of prudence: one cannot jump out of a burning building gradually.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
