Famous quotes containing the words outer and/or coat:

    “After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say “I WANT TO SEE THE MANAGER.””
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    “While yet it is cold January, and snow and ice are thick and solid, the prudent landlord comes from the village to get ice to cool his summer drink; impressively, even pathetically, wise, to foresee the heat and thirst of July now in January,—wearing a thick coat and mittens! when so many things are not provided for. It may be that he lays up no treasures in this world which will cool his summer drink in the next.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
