Open

Famous quotes containing the word open:

“There is all the difference in the world between the criminal’s avoiding the public eye and the civil disobedient’s taking the law into his own hands in open defiance. This distinction between an open violation of the law, performed in public, and a clandestine one is so glaringly obvious that it can be neglected only by prejudice or ill will.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

“An open foe may prove a curse,
But a pretended friend is worse.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)

“... the door that nobody else will go in at, seems always to swing open widely for me.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
