Famous quotes containing the words bank and/or center:
“That strain again, it had a dying fall;
O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor. Enough, no more,
‘Tis not so sweet now as it was before.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I am the center of the world, but the control panel seems to be somewhere else.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
