Famous quotes containing the words locked, bags and/or service:

    “It is reported here that the King of Prussia has gone mad and has been locked up. There would be nothing bad about that: at least that might of his would no longer be a menace, and you could breathe freely for a while. I much prefer madmen who are locked up to those who are not.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “I don’t go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.”
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    “His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
