Ticket Gates

Famous quotes containing the words ticket and/or gates:

    Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teen-agers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.
    Max Lerner (b. 1902)

    We’ve cracked the hemispheres with careless hand!
    Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood

    Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
    Whelms us to the tired world where tasseling corn,
    Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
    Rot on the vine: in the land were we born.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
