Famous quotes containing the words roof and/or dormer:
“A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The great, the rich, the powerful, too often bestow their favours upon their inferiors in the manner they bestow their scraps upon their dogs, so as neither to oblige man nor dogs. It is no wonder if favours, benefits, and even charities thus bestowed ungraciously, should be as coldly and faintly acknowledged.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
