Refuge

Famous quotes containing the word refuge:

“Since I am a man, my heart is three or four times less sensitive, because I have three or four times as much power of reason and experience of the world—a thing which you women call hard-heartedness.

—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

“The great advantage of a hotel is that it’s a refuge from home life.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“A technical objection is the first refuge of a scoundrel.”
—Heywood Broun (1888–1939)
