Famous quotes containing the words open, shop and/or closed:

    GOETHE, raised o’er joy and strife,
    Drew the firm lines of Fate and Life,
    And brought Olympian wisdom down
    To court and mar, to gown and town,
    Stooping, his finger wrote in clay
    The open secret of to-day.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Griff: If I let you set up shop in this neighborhood, the people would chop me like a ripe banana.
    Kelly: Then why’d you buy my merchandise?
    Griff: I ... I was thirsty!
    Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)

    Because you live, O Christ,
    the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying,
    our cages of despair no longer keep us closed and life-denying.
    The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison!
    O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen!
    Shirley Erena Murray (20th century)
