Famous quotes containing the words roof and/or tiles:
“But whenever the roof came white
The head in the dark below
Was a shade less the color of night,
A shade more the color of snow.”

“I learn immediately from any speaker how much he has already lived, through the poverty or the splendor of his speech. Life lies behind us as the quarry from whence we get tiles and copestones for the masonry of today. This is the way to learn grammar. Colleges and books only copy the language which the field and the work-yard made.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
