Famous quotes containing the words key and/or dates:

    “At the last, tenderly,
    From the walls of the powerful fortress’d house,
    From the clasp of the knitted locks, from the keep of the well-closed doors,
    Let me be wafted.

    Let me glide noiselessly forth;
    With the key of softness unlock the locks—with a whisper,
    Set ope the doors O soul.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Nothing so dates a man as to decry the younger generation.”
    —Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
