Ninth Key

Famous quotes containing the words ninth and/or key:

    “Blessed is the man who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed” was the ninth beatitude.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    It so happened that, a few weeks later, “Old Ernie” [Ernest Hemingway] himself was using my room in New York as a hide-out from literary columnists and reporters during one of his rare stopover visits between Africa and Key West. On such all-too-rare occasions he lends an air of virility to my dainty apartment which I miss sorely after he has gone and all the furniture has been repaired.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
